I downloaded it and then my pc went ape! Could not access My Favourites, every thing running slow etc. I reverted back to a previous date and got it out of the system. To make sure I re installed v6. I think v7 is still in beta mode. Please people be very carefull if you are promted to down load it.

No, it is in full release now. It is being pushed through automatic updates too. There are plenty of issues with it though still, and many websites are not yet fully compatible making matters worse.

Doesn't bother me much as I use Firefox anyway.

One of the most annoying things I have found about IE7 is the speed of the add-ins
Example.
Scrolling window works perfect in Firefox.
In IE7 is locks the browser completely for anywhere from a few seconds to minutes ,, Then it works

I am starting to think it should be only installed as part of a clean / new installation of windows ..

Even though I use Firefox almost all the time I have found ie7 to be behaving okay on my machine.
My problem has been finding all the little tools and shortcuts that I took for granted with ie6
Not a big deal.
Still can't wait for the day when all of this browser and os talk will be a thing of the past, and getting on line will the same as turning on your t.v.
Nice to know how it works, but not really care.
Where are the flying cars that I was promised as a kid?

Right here, Mark
They just put the prototype up for sale on EBay.
