Internet Explorer 7 - What's the hype all about?

[katiebear21 0]

Ok, so I downloaded it last night and I'm not really that impressed. I had to update my wireless drivers in order to be able to scroll correctly. It's tabular on the top of the page instead of on the bottom and it looks a little different. Updated icons I guess. Am I missing some great new functionality other than possibly security enhancements?

MySpace works better with it.

I'm willing to bet you'd be more impressed with Firefox 1.5 and the ad-block extension. I forget that web pages I go to all the time have ads and pop-ups because I never see them.

HA! Hahahaha! Oh man, IE security enhancements...wait, you're serious? I upgraded with a quick download to some possible security enhancements called Firefox.

Linux isn't secure. You can easily make it VERY secure, especially compared to Winblows XP, though.

I used to use RedHat (back when it was free and basically the best distro) for firewalls in a corporate job I had. That was back in the mid 90's to about Y2k, though.

We could get into (Yaaawn) a very boring Windows XP IPSec (YAAAAWN) versus Linux IPTables feature conversation in here...
OR if you rather like.. how about configuring a Samba LDAP + Active Directory hybrid enviornment chat (YYYYAAAAAWN!!!)

[Edit to add: Almost forgot about the thread's topic... IE7 sucks Both IE7 and Windows media player 11 seem like a "skin" change. They changed the icons, moved things around, patch , patch, compiled... and ship. ]

Very true. Then I'd have to quit being a now closet geek and bring my full geekness out.

And I would have to hide the whiskey, drugs, whores and get my ThinkGeek USB Missle launcher

I do my best to stay the hell away from ThinkGeek. I've spent way too much money there over the years. However, when I get shot at, I return fire. I don't mean "return fire" I mean *return fire*. I am a redneck closet geek afterall.

I might stick to the whores, drugs and booze and make my secret ninja "star wars kid" kinda moves!!
(moving hands in the air) how about THAT!

Yup, their grammar, spelling and language is a bit juvenile, but its still by-god funny.

I agree...I personally hate it. I think they are trying to bite off of firefox too much. If I wanted firefox I would download it.

Apologies for the spelling (and grammar).... I got a B.S, not a B.A. :)

I'm sorry to hear that you sucked in that virus/malware/spyware/trojan/hacking magnet.

My reality and yours are quite different.

RedHat is still free it is just called Fedora now or if you are really obsessive get CentOS which is RedHat enterprise repackaged. Though you probably knew that.
