Just checking to see if any IE7 users were surf'n Dakka and finding any issues. Working ok?

**Wolfstan**

Had no problems with is so far, just getting used to it.

**RussWakelin**

Seems to be working ok for me too.

I'm glad MS finally decided to get with the program on the tabs. Much needed.

**mauleed**

Works ok for me as well.

Tabs are king. Love 'em.

Another vote for IE7. It has worked awesome and seems more stable than IE 6 was.

Now the office beta is another story

.

It's certainly a great improvement over IE6, and I commend them for that. A bit too late for me, though, since I've already switched over to Firefox. At least now I can understand and respect someone wanting to use IE. I guess time will tell if its security improvements do the job. Here's hoping.

IE...not in years! First Firefox, then Opera, but Opera hates me so now back to Firefox...

Another Firefox diehard here. I even tried to download IE7 (using IE6 no less) and it wouldn't let me (404...). Plus, my extensive collection of bookmarks resides in FF, no need to change something that aint broke (indeed, I went to FF because of IE's exploitability issues).

**Zubbiefish**

I switched to FF too, for the same reason.
I'll be giving IE7 a whirl though.
I can't leave well enough alone.

Glad it isn't doing anything wierd on Dakka. New Browser releases are always challenging for webmasters.

It's a great improvement over IE6, but if you are a Firefox fan, there isn't a compelling reason to switch.

It does seem to perform slightly better and feels more stable than IE6.

**nyarlathotep667**

I can't switch even if I wanted to, MicroSoft won't let me!

(seriously, I get a 404 error when trying to download the thing, even in IE6). Glad to see it's working well here though. Your new browser webmaster anxiety sounds like another case for open source software....
