IE 7

Long ago I switched to firefox for my web browser.  But with the upcoming release of IE 7 I felt it necessary to do a little testing before it got into too wide of circulation so that we could be assured there weren’t any compatibility issues with Safe Eyes.

I just realized that it has a little search bar like firefox in the upper right hand corner.  Oddly enough this searched google.com as it’s default.  When you click to change the “Search Provider” it only has google.  No others like say Live.com or MSN.com.   Is that strange?

Update - I checked IE 7 on an install of Vista RC2 and it has Live Search and Live Search only.  So it might do google on the XP upgrade side.  I dunno, I still think it is an interesting move for it to not have live search and google on my XP box.

    Browsers from Microsoft are a waste of time. I understand why you’ve got to test with IE7, but firefox is the only way to go.

    IE 7 blows big time! Earlier this spring, the othe help desk guy installed it (in the same directory as IE 6), and in the end (two weeks later), i had to re-image the Help Desk Machine because we couldn’t uninstall it and it wouldn’t do some things that we needed it to do.

    Go Firefox!
