Would be funny if it did. xD Though if it uses Active-X (which I hate hate hate hate hate), then it won't work. :/


Excellent suggestion, I'll try this as soon as possible.

My college's mailing and communication system is IE only, if you use another browser, it won't let you look at anything and asks you to use IE. I've always found this irritating that whoever designed the Website couldn't have been a little bit more inclusive of other browsers.

But you could say, that it took awhile.

Tabs have been around forever, and no Mozilla wasn't first with them. It was some oddball browser, who I forgot the name off.

AMEN.

Eh. My mom introduced me to Mozilla, then I introduced her to Firefox.
IE always caused me problems and still does, IE Tab doesn't though.
I'm still a beta whore.. and probaply will end up checking out IE7 just for the heck of it.

1) Switch my user agent to IE
2) Leave because it looks like a site I wouldn't bother reading even if I did use IE

I personally use Firefox, but I use IE when Firefox demands I install Quicktime. That thing is garbage. I also have Opera and would use it, but it seems to choke when posting non-ASCII characters.

Oh? I may get IE7 then so I don't have to deal with the Internet Explorer only websites.

Unless IE7 magically supports all thoose extensions I use, I can't see myself going back. Just further away.

Posts: 143/181		 In general I have no large bent against Microsoft products, but I sincerely feel that the Internet Explorer project, after losing to Netscape, has been incredibly tragic. IE7 is just a continuation of my disasspointment with the browser. The interface is overwhelmingly "blah" to me, and I am very aggrivated and confused by the placement of the menu bar

Posts: 7/35		 I hate how they moved the stop button. It's in the middle of nowhere now next to the address bar. There's also lots of glitches with the Windows shell itself now that's Internet Explorer was upgraded, lots of "Errors on this page" dialogs. If (and they will) they fix this, I'll probably start using it when Vista comes out... I'm a fan of the "phish" feature to report spam websites and block them out.

Posts: 93/273		 Nothing new about this, IE7's betas have been floating around for a long time.

I wasn't to impressed with it when I used it a while ago. So yeah.

And about all the software bugs in MS products, i believe that they have less than most software out there. We just believe that MS products have lots of holes because people bother to actually find them. I mean, what good is a bug in an obscure browser than 15 people use? In any case, they can and should do a better job, but im not complaining. It will hopefully make my lots of money .

Posts: 76/76		 Hey guys!

I got the beta 2 of IE7 a few minutes ago, and I'm liking what I'm seeing. Hopefully there isn't more holes than a block of swiss cheese on IE7 than there was in previous versions (or any M$ product for that matter). And its about bloody time they put tabbed-browsing on IE.

As with any new M$ product you download, you have to go through their stupid validation check. However, I found on a forum a patch for one of the setup files which always returns a success code for WGA (either that or it just stops the browser from going to the stupid check, one way or another).

So what I did was I applied all their patches, followed the instructions, and got IE7 on a.... non-genuine version of Windows. What else could I do but compile an extraction program with all the patched setup files in it? I decided to host it on rapidshare, hopefully they won't delete it. So if you have a non-genuine version of Windows, make sure you grab this before Rapidshare chucks a fit and deletes it (or 30 days have passed w/o a download).

http://rapidshare.de/files/17166831/IE7B2-WGACracked.exe.html

Don't change anything, just keep clicking OK/Next until everything is done. That way nothing gets screwed in the process.

And a special thank you to Microsoft for making the lives of hackers so much easier.

Enjoy!
