It’s Alive!
(yawn) IE 7 has officially been released. According to a previous post at the IE blog, this will be followed by having IE7 included in an automatic update within a few weeks. I thought I’d be dreading this, but having tested several of the beta versions I’m somewhat ambivalent on the subject. Sure it’s an improvement (yawn), but with Microsoft’s long history of security issues, I won’t be switching away from Firefox any time soon.
How many of you have tested your sites to make sure everything is working in IE7? The clock has started, now would be the time work out any final problems. I’ve tested all of the sites I work on, and so far I’ve only found a few minor bugs that I had to work out. Good luck.
Yawn, indeed. And yawn to downloading and installing it to see how pages look in it. Don’t care. Really don’t care.

Well, I’m not really “computer guy, esq.” On the other hand, I like IE7, I downloaded it on a whim, and have been playing with it for the last couple of days. I think it’s pretty cool, it has the stuff I liked from Firefox and Opera, but my programmable mouse still works like it does in IE6.
I should mention that I’m about the least computer literate person on the planet, besides our moms, of course. I just hope that IE 7 doesn’t make my security programs obsolete.
