And even more relevant for Microsoft is the fact that even with IE7 on
the market, it has continued to lose its grip over the browser market
dropping from over 80% in 2006 to 77.35%, while Firefox grew to an
estimated 16.01%.
I didn't even know what browser version I had - I've got IE 7.

Works for me.

I have IE7, but it keeps freezing up and then shutting down. I think it
has to do with security settings and my anti-virus, there are also some
web sites that just will not open in IE7 or won't allow me to log on, yet
when I use go to Firefox it opens right up.


I think you need to take some Computer 101 classes Reggie.



I did find this bit of info you might find interesting:

Why some sites may not work with IE7
Every time a new version of Internet Explorer has been released, there
have been sites that will not work with that new version.

This problem sometimes occurs because the sites in question examine
something called a 'User Agent String', and then either block the
browser completely if it does not recognize the version, or serve up an
inappropriate page that will not work in that version of the Web browser.

Here is what MS says about web pages having identifying IE7:
