Is Internet Explorer 7 matching Windows Vista in the level of
disappointment delivered to end users?


Did your *source* have any reviews of the Chevy Silverado?


Oh joy...the class idiot has promoted himself to computer maven. Glad I
have the troll where he belongs, in the dumpster with the rest of the
crap.


Reggie said he uses FireFox but complains about IE7. *He earlier said his OS
is WinXP but complains about VISTA.

Is there a pattern here?


I dunno' he has mostly pasted other folks experience, fair enough. I
have noticed over the year when folks have insufficient backups to
revert back from a bad package or installation, they tend to get real
testy and look for someone to go off on (blame)... Not suggesting
Reggie is in that catergory, but if he were a client, I would have
that in the back of my mind...

You might be correct, but it really was not a big deal to me, but when i
read the article about problems with IE7, it made me think about how I
had switched most of my browsing from IE to FF.

I really think MS is having the same problems IBM had when they owned
the market. Technology is changing very quickly, and MS is like a big
ocean liner, that is very very slow to change and are now market
followers instead of market leaders.

It is probably a few years before I buy a new computer, but the way it
looks now, I will buy an Apple.

Mrs. Wave has a G something or other latest Mac - I have to say that
it is a nice machine.

I won't buy one if only because I hate GUI and Apple brought it to the
world.
