Who is using Internet Explorer 7?

Recently i have been using IE7 alot more than Mozilla..

Ive installed VISTA and so far i havent even installed Mozilla which i love and enjoy so much

IE7 is a great improvement over IE6 and i love the tab system, even though Mozilla had the same -- the IE7 tabs look much sweeter

Yeah, M$ will always compare to the best software. Just give them time to rip off the idea, rewrite the code in their own language, add "big-brother-esque" spyware and overprice it.. and they'll catch up every time.

To answer your ??, I keep IE7 on another comp only so I can check out positioning and such. I've found that there aren't the alignment differences with zero positioning as compared to Mozilla anymore. So I guess that's a good thing. Here are teh stats from W#C on browsers as of last month.

2007 IE7 IE6 IE5 Fx Moz S O
February 16.4% 39.8% 2.5% 31.2% 1.4% 1.7% 1.5%

I'm anxious to see what that chart looks like in 2 or 3 more months honestly.

yeah i have noticed that IE7 works very similar to Mozilla, even the CSS sheets have the same problems and non-problems.

Ive just designed a new site using 3 stylesheets, one for IE7, IE6 and Mozilla. After realising that i was getting the same results from both the IE7 and Mozilla stylesheets, i changed my script to share the same CSS for both Mozilla and IE7. Hopefully one day soon, no one will use IE6 anymore...

I was on my grandma's Vista laptop, and IE7 was actually pretty sweet, i liked a certain feature: it had it where it showed all of the Windows (i like seeing more than 1 Browser window open at a time.)

So IE7 is pretty cool, but i have FireFox2 installed and i dont use any other (at all, but i have IE6 since i cant get rid of it)

sif,.. I've had that forever, with ALL open applications. move your mouse to a certain position, all of them come intoa nice layout on your screen, slightly faded out (nice animations meanwhile), then click what you want, and they remain live updated all the time

THAT's how to do it

I had IE7 but I now took it out. Don't know why I would like it if I could get them to remember my passwords and crap since I have a forgetful thinker anyways. So I have IE 6 and the reason I keep it is ???? I don't know. I usually user firefox though

I like it.

I have windows vista business software also but don't really care for it too much. Nothing works for me on it and I am not techy enough to figure out how to get everything to work either. So I just stick with what I have until I can get me another computer. LOL this one is only a year and half old anyways.

I need to find me a cheap used laptop that is what I need.
