chilifrei64 Posted July 31, 2005 Share Posted July 31, 2005 I have it.. am testing it.. not worth downloading it unless you are feeling interested or want to test website development with it. It kinda give me the same fee as firefox does with the tabbed browsing and what not.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HybridShadow Posted July 31, 2005 Share Posted July 31, 2005 I'm using it, and of course it has bugs its in betaBut i havent come across any bugs yet (exept the favourites one, and toolbar rearanging)But they will be fixed soonIMO it is alot better than Firefox (remember that is my opinion) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HybridShadow Posted July 31, 2005 Share Posted July 31, 2005 Infected from whatI've had a hell of alot more problems with firefox than IEI have NEVER got any virus through ANY browserI only had the Blaster Worm and Sasser and (I cant remmeber the other name)Seriously the only people who get infected thru browsers are people that are stupid enough to download virus's or install activex controls (THAT NEED USER INTERACTION - SO ITS NOT IE's FAULT ITS THE USERS - Also many sites have firefox extensions that are bogus as well now)So you find me proof that Internet Explorer can infect people with no reason given than i'd gladly use the pathetic excuse for a browser firefox - that popularity is draining out anyway not long until they give up on the program anyway - like most others - the only browser that come even close to IE is Opera but its not freeSo i dont think you should be telling people not to download it because YOU dont like it ok its your opinion let them find out on their own okI say if you want to try BETA softwar eand understand the risks THAT WILL BE FIXED than i say do so at your own free wilAs for the FF vs IE it needs to stop its pathetic and annoying now ok seriously!

dman Posted July 31, 2005 Share Posted July 31, 2005 (edited) As for the FF vs IE it needs to stop its pathetic and annoying now ok seriously! @mattYou are sooo right. WTF cares? And you are correct that browser is only as safe as the person using it.Q.)If your favorite browser was erased from every hard drive in the world while you were sleeping, could you not just pick up where you left off with another one without skipping a beat? It's just a tool to view web pages, not something to get all passionate about like a game or programming language.

HybridShadow Posted July 31, 2005 Share Posted July 31, 2005 Exactly THANK YOUi was expecting to get blasted lolSome one agrees with me which is trueSo who here has testing IE7 and found it found so far.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boooggy Posted August 1, 2005 Share Posted August 1, 2005 Bypass Windows Genuine Advantage check in IE7 (beta)This Windows Genuine Advantage stuff is already starting to aggrivate me, especially since I don't have a live connection available on some of my testing boxes. Here's how to unofficially bypass this check... 1. Extract IE7-WindowsXP-x86-enu.exe with WinRAR (or anything that works) to a temporary directory. 2. Open update\iecustom.dll in a hex editor. 3. Navigate to hexadecimal offset 0x1034h(4148 decimal) and change 0F 95 to 0F 94. 4. Save and execute update.exe. 5. Enjoy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin Zugec Posted August 1, 2005 Share Posted August 1, 2005 Well, I also agree... When you compare browsers, IE is more secure than any other (except Opera, but maybe it is because there are not enought users, who knows)...However it have problems (including IE7) with user friendly interface for IT Pros... I mean like keyboard shortcuts, customization etc... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
