« on: 03 January 2007, 21:38:25 »
Stats from this site show IE7 is getting close to overtaking IE6 this month.  Some of my other sites, it has already done so...

Probably due to auto updates, it's much better in my opinion, never had a problem with it. Still prefer firefox though  ;)

IE7, no probs so far, wasn't downloaded automaticaly, I downloaded it myself.

I think it is far superior to IE6.

Until Firefox can render more pages properly, people will not entertain the idea, hence the small market share its got...

Renders things fine here, built in spell checker is very useful for my crap spelling! I also find it faster than IE7

The only page i have found that it cannot render yet is my works diary and time recording page. Reason being because it uses masses of MS code.

Intranets in particular are problematic, as most companies 'web designers' do it as a sideline to their proper job, and often aren't that good.

But still quite a lot of internet pages that won't work properly, though IE7's popularity may help that (IE7 more standards based, so more like Gecko based browsers, such as FF, for rendering)

Just spent the morning going through this months security flaws (generated internally, so is a superset of the standard CERT ones) - FF hasn't had a good couple of months...   ...actually, for a number of months now (over a year), FF has had more vulnerabilities than IE...
