Interested to know how many people use IE7?
Looks like readability is very good in IE7 and my favorite font arial appears crisp and clear?
Just curious to hear a feedback on this?
-
No.
-
Nope, I normally use Firefox.
-
Ditto.

On this point, I see no difference between IE and FF. And, fonts and text should appear the same in both browsers. The appearance of text on your screen is more a matter of having all the common fonts installed in Windows and having your monitor resolution settings set correctly, not what browser you're using.
-
quite right, soybean no difference here. Although it's possible they simply have adjusted zoom settings in one or the other by accident?
-
Ditto.
Patio, You stole my answer! :)

No, in my opinion IE is crap compared to Firefox and IE is mainly for people who are too lazy or don't have enough computer knowledge to switch to a better browser.
And IE isn't even my backup...my backup is Flock which is built on Firefox technology.
Like I said...my opinion.

I use IE7 as a backup and for testing webpages to be sure people will see what I see in firefox when I make something. And unfortunately I'm also forced to use IE7 when doing things on government websites that don't support Firefox. Although I've seen some finally start supporting Firefox, yet only Firefox 2.x despite that 3.x has been out for quite some time now.

You can use an addon for FF that allows you to browse certain as if you had IE...

Yes, just install IE tab, from this link: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1419. However, if activeX or something that's found only through the regular IE (not IE addon for firefox) then you'll have to really use the real IE browser.

I hate to say that I do. I have used FF before and didnt like it, also my one friends sister slaped it on her machine and she had all sorts of issues.

Where I work we still use IE6 :-\

cant make the jump cause of 2k

I have IE for the rare case that the FF or FF's IE Tab addon can't handle a specific website, else IE is collecting dust on my pc.

Can Update.microsoft.com be accessed with IETab?

You should be able ton. The screenshot that the authors of the IE Tab provided shows them updating via Microsoft Windows Update through the IE Tab (that was on XP or some other version of windows requiring Microsoft Windows update via browser)

Well, for every single application / software that has been made up to date, I bet that there will be at least one person whose computers are going to have problems with it one way or the other. So, for every web browser out there, there is at least one person whose computer will have problems with it.

Its not the hardware, I just didnt like the feel of it.
-
Nope, Firefox. I find IE7 is a much slower program.

No...... ;)
