Explorer 7

Behind the time but

I hate when shit is counter intuitive

If you know someone at microsquish

please kick him for me

[richw]

One thing cool though is

F11 full screen becomes truly FULL SCREEN no title or tool bars

More suckage though haven't found refresh button

One word....


FIREFOX

[patricia929]

+1 for firefox

while tabbed browsers are nice, i have yet to find one (ie7, firefuck, nutscrape, opera) that doesnt stop eating memory. and they all apparently refuse to shit it out too.

Huh. Works for IE6, too. Never knew that, thanks!


I found that with FireFox I was getting TONS more spyware and adware than with IE. And it's a memory pig. And if someone posts a link to something with a MS Media Player plug-in, I need to open it with IE. I'll stick with IE, thanks. (not as a supporter of Microsoft. If Mozilla fixed those issues, I'd use them fer sure.)

I use the IE Tab plugin for Firefox. Let's you render pages in IE (from within FF) that don't work correctly in FF, with one click. Works great!

Fork out some $$$ and get some more memory.

2GB RAM isn't that expensive now.

F11 in ie7 the top title bar scrolls up into the edge then the cursur can retrieve it

I never saw this happen on ie6

found refresh next to address bar

yes I only have 1G ram

Last firefox to many comercial sites would not work with it. I have pest patrol and Norton for the other stuff seems to work

In older versions of IE - I think since 4.

Click F11

Right click title bar at the top, select "Auto Hide".

They must have just turned it on by default in version 7, it's not even remotely new.

Thank you Sensei

I just installed IE7 and I'm still getting used to it....

So far, seems a bit smoother. I like that the favorites are now hidden in a drop-down type of window.

I have (2) 1 GB PC2100 (266MHz) DDR memory modules. They are used, Samsung brand, and I will relinquish ownership of them for $.

You've got a pirated copy of Windows and you went to the Microsoft site for an update?

my desktop has 1.5gb of ram and it still hogged the system. my laptops which i primarily use have 1gb and 512mb. i wont even bother with the 512, but even on the 1gb it was a memory hog. there is no excuse for a program to take up 200-350mb of ram and keep climbing till it chrashes

[odduc]

The one PC of mine that I installed IE7 on has only 512mb RAM. I haven't had any crashes or slowing down at all.......

Yes, I was owned by automatic update...

Well, I've had a few burps in IE6 that led me to be a Firefox user, but I've installed IE7 on my XP laptop (2GB RAM) and a system at work running Windows 2003 Standard server (1.5GB RAM) and both seem to be holding up pretty well. The W2K3 machine is also running SQL 2000, and Tripwire Enterprise server, which uses Java, so it gets its memory taxed pretty well.

I haven't had any issues YET with HTML formatting or things like SSL. And it hasn't crashed either system...YET.

I have to test this crap, since I administer a half dozen sites for a living. SO, we'll see.
