OT--should I upgrade to IE 7.0
OK, I use IE 6.0.
When IE 7.0 came out I was reading about problems with it, so I didn't upgrade. However, it's been out awhile. Any opinions about upgrading? Should I anticipate any problems in upgrading? I know IE 7.0 is supposedly more secure than 6.0. Mel |

MZB,
If you are using OE6, with an earlier version of Word, or Works Suite as spellchecker, you may loose the ability to spell-check, in OE6. -- Rich/rerat (RRR News) message rule Previous Text Snipped to Save Bandwidth When Appropriate "MZB" wrote in message ...

i think you should upgrade. ie7 is faster than ie6. and it has the tab
featured that so many people like 'barrowed' from firefox. however i will give you these two warnings... 1) after you install it you need to run windows update a few times to get all the critical updates downloaded and installed 2) you will not longer be able to direct internet explorer to a ftp site but instead will have to use 'my computer' to reach ftp sites (annoying).

OK. Also, is it best to upgrade to IE7 via Critical Updates?

Good advice. By the way Internet Explorer 8 Beta 1 is avaialable for the brave, adventureous, or crazy ! http://www.microsoft.com/windows/pro.../getitnow.mspx It seems to work better than IE7, but Firefox still wins. Best Regards, Bob Johnson |

Should I anticipate any problems in upgrading? I know IE 7.0 is supposedly more secure than 6.0. Mel Sorry Mel can't say because I use Firefox . I only use IE6 when certain sites aren't written correctly and do not browse correctly with Firefox. In truth, I find this happening less often now so I can use Firefox more often. As someone else pointed out, there is now talk on the net of a beta IE8 but I know nothing else about it. I agree with you that I had heard IE7 woes when it first came out but have not noticed it more lately when reading tech stuff so perhaps (I'm guessing to be honest here) that the woes have been fixed. I don't read up on IE unless by accident because I prefer Firefox. |
