I'm creating this thread to vent about M$'s newest dog, IE7.
I have had more negative experiences with this browser than any prior installation...ever. I have had it wreak havoc on custom applications, out of the box applications, many of my currently designed webpages do not work properly on this browser, and most recently a security update actually caused my video drivers to get smashed.
That's right, a security fix for IE7 caused my video drivers to disappear and blacked out the display so that not even boot and post screens could be seen. Luckily I had remote desktop enabled and could log in remotely to remove the stupid security patch. As soon as I removed the patch, video worked fine.
Who else has had negative experiences with IE7? What can M$ be thinking releasing this kind of crap when there are other competitors taking market share? Is this a preview of the horrors that will be had if I install Vista? *shudder*
Here's some other info:
