Bino,
Let's just agree to disagree then. For me, IE7 just stinks, period.
IE6sp1 is fine in either the W2K version or the XP version. Yes, I have been
schooled, cajoled, prattled at, and scolded into certain necessary tricks to
"harden" IE. Certainly not perfect, but so far so good.
Then again, of course, I am not browser-centric either.
Can you expand on the "memory leak issues?" Many in the collective
now use FF and I do not recall hearing about this. What exactly is a
"memory leak" anyway?
Thanks,
Duncan

Eh, I've gotten pretty used to IE7; enough now that I don't miss it over
IE6. But I will say DO NOT install IE8; the beta of that was horrible and I
had to get rid of it (I was very glad they at least made rolling back fairly
painless!).
FF3 just has too many memory leak issues (these are from die-hard Apple
fans/MS haters who are heavy web browsing-types); not to say IE doesn't, but
if it's not really better...
Does anyone else know about the supposed memory and/or CPU issues with Flash
in IE and other browsers tho? I thought I remembered reading something
about that somewhere...

Subject: Re: [H] IE7 problem
I am interested in this IE7 business also. I have been testing/using IE7
on my XP test machine. After a year of living with IE7, I have to say that
I do not care for its' new format. I get lost quickly trying to drive IE7;
so, I do not do much testing any longer............. :)
My remaining non-FF machines still use IE6sp1(?).
But, during my last 3 XP upgrades I see that MS is leaning harder on
trying to force IE7 installation during the initial WinUpdate
cycle. Scary. Kudos that MS still allows me to NOT install IE7, but I
suspect the time will come that it will be either IE7 or the highway......
:(
My out will be FF3 which I am growing more happy with each day of use; even
with its' own set of small glitches.
