Before the end of the month, IE 7 is slated to be pushed to PC's everywhere. It will be an automatic download. It isn't ready, Microsoft. I've installed it with Windows Vista RC 2, and sites I use regularly are breaking. Two examples:
- The Globe and Mail: comment icons are shifted into the centre of the text.
- WordPress Admin Console: the trackback form doesn't open completely.
Either leave your dog at home, or make sure it's trained better before inviting it into my house to make a mess on my carpet. Please!

Installing a beta on a beta – can't imagine why that didn't work.
Didn't do that Mark. I am using the IE 7 that's in Windows Vista RELEASE CANDIDATE 2. Both of these products — the combined IE 7 / Windows Vista, and standalone IE 7 – are supposed to be gold this month. Moreover, if you're an IE user, it's just going to be installed automatically.  This is a problem!!!
Do you really need IE7 ?
Hi,
Why you insist on using this obsolete operating system and browser. Use any version of linux or MacOS.
