> First IE 7 Beta 2 Bug Found
Bookmark topic
many have probably read the "
Internet Explorer 7 beta 2, Avalbile to all to download." thread and given it a go. I did and am getting to like it, so thanks for that
but now
PCWorld have reported that the first IE7 bug was found after just 15 minutes.
An independent researcher needed just 15 minutes to find the first bug in the Beta 2 preview release of Microsoft's Internet Explorer 7 browser.
Tom Ferris, of Mission Viejo, California, published his findings just hours after Microsoft released the beta code. His findings are
posted online.
mind you, lets NOT forget this is still a beta before we go MS bashing

I really do hate people who use Firefox because they follow the "hate Microsoft for no reason" crowd!
A perfect example in the artical here:
"Workaround:
Mozilla Firefox
"
SHouldnt the workround be to downgrade?

That's a very easy bug to fix. Besides, what is beta testing for? Also, that bug wouldn't cause Vista to crash which is the platform that IE7 has been developed for. The XP version was started several months after the original Vista version. Even though Vista is backwards compatible with XP software, some M$ software including IE7 is optimised for Vista. The XP version is quite a bit different.

microsoft really should uses more alpha testing before they do a load of beta testing

What can I say; Firefox rules!!!
Also installed this beta version and to me it looks more like a rip-off from Firefox, yet Microsoft then still cannot get the tabbed browsing right. I can't even customize the browser to look and do things like I want to.
Firefox rules! (BTW did I say that before?)

For goodness sake, firefox does not 'rule'!
And before you all start flaming, yes I have used it, for over two years and whilst it has many welcome features it makes a very poor job of handling the 'standards compliant' web pages that it's supposed to handle so much better than IE!
CSS support is sketchy and even simple cookie handling is dubious to say the least! Do yourself a favour and use Avant browser if you hate IE that much. It's a stripped down version of the IE engine with a much, much better front end including all of the bells and whistles that firefox has. It's a LOT faster than firefox and more importantly, it's fully compatible with both the latest web standards and the quirks of IE that the majority of web developers code for.

I have to agree with you.
I have been using
avant browser for a very long time and even now, with IE7 beta installed, I'm finding the old ways are still the good ways
I especially use the automatic refresh for watching certain sites (like this one
)

I hate the memory leak bug of firefox but I hate IE for it's security problems and I hate opera for it's way of handling downloads, so what do I choose ...
