Microsoft's NEW Internet Explorer 7 just released..

I like it. IE7 has some very nice new features. Works better than the Beta I have been using as well.

I upgraded IE on all my computers to 7, but Firefox is still a far superior browser.

I have been using it for months. The best upgrade is the tab feature by far.. That was one of the main reasons I liked firefox

And, less than 24 hours after its official release, a major vulnerability has been found.

Why can't Microsoft write decent software?

They will always find wholes to fill because unfortunately there are butt heads who do nothing but sit at home all day and try to find ways to screw peoples systems over. Low life degenerates.. And when you are at the top of the food chain like Microsoft you walk around with a huge bulls eye on your head.. Wait till you guys see the new office and Windows vista if you havent yet.. Still tons of holes in it like you stated gtalum, and lots of vulnerabilities.. Release date has been pushed back a few times already.. I am a beta tester though and just LOVE it

Yeah Vista is nice, but it is going to be such a hog. It is going to be so system intensive, alot of people wont be able to run it. The only way they will be able to is to upgrade or buy new systems. Hmmmmm, is do I sense a plot?? :eek: :lol:

Sounds good. Will you be able to download it online for free when it's released, as I did with Internet Explorer?

Yes. If you normally use Firefox, a notification window should appear saying that 2.0 is available for download and do you want to install it. There may be problems with compability of some extensions for several days.
