phaolo Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 Hello I see by now that IE6 is considered obsolete (yeh).I hate changing version if the new one doesn't improve the application or maybe does worse (like takes more resources for nothing). Is there a good reason to upgrade to IE7? Should I wait directly for IE8? No Microsof opinions of course.ThanksP.S: ok I have Firefox too! Let's talk about IE now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kecowakmanja Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 well... i don't have complain upgrading ie6 to ie7... at least now my IE is tabbed browsing... plus if you download the IE7PRO... you can download it from here http://www.ie7pro.com/ ... i'm sure as it hell... it will have an extra feature like the one you've got on firefox... like the adblock, privacy control, session restore, youtube plugin and something else...so... put it this way... IE7 + IE7PRO = More or less like Firefox...ah... we're talking about IE7 rite? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoffeeFiend Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 Is there a good reason to upgrade to IE7?Tabbed browsing. Somewhat better security, somewhat better page rendering, RSS support, etc. Some other little things. There's no real reason to stick with IE6.Should I wait directly for IE8?Why would anyone wait? IE8 will be a lot better seemingly (at least when it comes to rendering pages properly), but that's no reason to wait...Not that I actually ever use IE...IE7 + IE7PRO = More or less like Firefox...Hmm, no. Not quite. There's a lot of big and fundamental differences. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kecowakmanja Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 yeah... i mean no... i'm just saying "more or less like"... it's not the same... but at least now IE7 have adblock or something like download manager... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phaolo Posted December 29, 2008 Author Share Posted December 29, 2008 (edited) Well, I want to wait as I going to do an unattended dvd with the best IE version installed (paired with Firefox).That's why I asked info before trying (as the evil browser is system integrated).Newer version are not always good for me, for example I quite like WMP 10 but the 11 is horrible (uncomfortable). Ye ye, I use both VLC and Winamp too Edited December 29, 2008 by phaolo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phaolo Posted January 5, 2009 Author Share Posted January 5, 2009 (edited) Ok, I've downloaded version 7 and I'm going to test it on a VM.I remember a sticky about unatttended IE but I can't find it anymore.. could anyone give me a link to it?edit:Urrk.. IE7 is pretty ugly. Luckly something can be done (like showing and moving menu bar at top, removing live search), but as usual all can be done only from the registry Going to look a way to add pinned favorites as default.. or maybe I'll wait for IE8 Edited January 6, 2009 by phaolo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
