What is the Internet Explorer 7 problem?

Can someone tell me exactly what the problem with IE 7 actually is? I'm planning on buying QB 2006.

I would take a look here:

IE7 and Quickbooks 2006 are compatible with the lastest update.

Just an FYI, some people are reporting problems with website, webmail servers,etc as a result of installing IE7. If you are concerned with browser security then I would suggest you install a non-Microsoft browser such as Firefox or seamonkey. Let Microsoft get the bugs out of IE7 before installing it.

Won't help. It's a dirty little secret that Firefox is really a Microsoft product. MS developed Firefox (or so I'm told) so those afflicted with Microsoft Derangement Syndrome can hie themsleves over to that corner of the room leaving the rest of us to enjoy our computing experience without constantly being ragged on by assorted pettifogs, cut-purses, and wowsers.

Microcrap owned Mozilla? So they sued themselves and lost? Will wonders never cease!

Correct. There was spoof site created that made it look like MS & Firefox were connected. It actually was a download site for IE7. But anyone familiar with the Mozilla project will tell you that Microsoft and Mozilla re not connected in any shape or form.

There are still some who do not believe that most of the software running on Macs was written by Microsoft.

Any Mac owner who has installed office will agree. Takes it hours to start and stop. No question about it Microcrap software is so slow and spends so much time hogging Mac resources it "runs" more than any other software on a Mac.

"Note: TakeOver will often over-react to unendorsed security software and may unexpectedly force the Windows file system into a uncontrollable shutdown / recovery phase. There is nothing you can do.

The following are also declared as malicious and dangerous, and will therefore cause a shutdown:

All Symantec Products All McAfee Command Antivirus eTrust Antivirus Dr. Web NOD32 F-Prot Antivirus F-Secure Anti-Virus GFI MailSecurity for Microsoft Exchange/SMTP GFI DownloadSecurity for Microsoft ISA Server AVG Anti-Virus ViRobot Expert Kaspersky Anti-Virus Norman Virus Control (NVC) Panda Titanium Antivirus Protector Plus Sophos Anti-Virus Sybari Antigen Trend Micro PC-cillin

And basically all other security vendors who have recently filed lawsuits against Microsoft."

Well, there you are then.

As an aside, I got a little Microsoft checky-poo today for $200. Quarterly dividend.

Don't get me wrong; I encourage malcontents to use Firefox and Linus. If they'd just quit trying to convert me, I'd be ever so happy.

I generally like MS products and look forward to trying Office Accounting when MS puts out a VAT module, because I'd like to see if MS has avoided some of the pitfalls that make QB less user-friendly than I would like it to be. But I think that MS lost its way with IE7.

I agree. The 250,000 beta testers of IE7 did not include malcontents, pokenoses, cut-purses, cranks, blow-hards, four-flushers, pettifogs, pedagogues, nit-pickers, or wearers of batik print tent dresses. MS really needs to broaden its base of testers.

Or, by all accounts, to listen to its beta testers: despite the most extensive beta testing I think we've seen to-date in respect of just about any product, IE7 seems to miss the boat in just too many respects. I find this strange because MS' strength has always been its ability to listen to what users want.

I have always been an exclusive IE user but I was so disappointed with IE7 that I have tried FireFox and Opera alongside it for a couple of months, and while each has its strong points the other two browsers seem to have rather more, at least for my particular usage profile. Perhaps it's just that there's no money in it; money is after all MS' forte.

But time will tell whether it loses supporters in significant numbers.
