FYI

An interesting line in a professional IT mag..

"In this case, we can't fault Microsoft. IE 7 was available as a beta for
company testing for a long while -- so HP and Intuit should have taken care
of these compatibility problems before now."

The full article can be read here.. in it, one can also read more compelling
reasons to move to IE7..

Yes, especially when the changes in a browser have been made to upgrade
security of whatever runs in it..

The problem is not the upgrade of IE7 but in the OS ... both are too much
linked by MS

Utiliser l'OS avec lequel vous vous sentez le plus sécurisé ;-)

If 90% of all computer users surfed in Firefox, IE7 would be left alone for
the most part.. making a browser totally secure while still giving users the
opportunity to invite whatever in is an almost impossible task but has to be
addressed nonetheless..

The same problem exists for the manufacturers of mail boxes and trash cans..
How does one construct either, allowing for proper usage, but at the same
time making it impossible for an incendiary device to be deposited by
somebody with a grudge?

Good analogy!

Non-computer nerd user of IE6.

If you don't like Internet Explorer 7, and want to go back to IE6,
go to Start > Settings > Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs.
Find Windows Internet Explorer 7, highlight it, and click "Remove".
That will take you back to IE6. The roll-back process worked
for me, for which I am grateful to Microsoft.
