Do I need IE7

[Guest]

I am currently XP Home with IE6 and am a subsriber to MSN Premium; Would
there be any advantages to downloading IE7?

It's been recommended that we wait for another month or two.

You may wish to wait until SP1 is issued, by then most of the 'problems'
should be straightened out.

Hi Casey,

I have been a member of the MS stationery group for nearly 8 years now and
we have some beta-testers in there. We've been receiving many update posts
from some on the progression of both IE7 and Vista. A few people have
chosen to download already, but it's been recommended that we wait a while.
Just passing along their recommendations.

A lot of users including myself have hada a ot of various problems with it.
For what it is worth I would say deefinitely stick with IE 6 right now until
more of the bugs are ironed out
Best Regards,

While some users have had problems, many have not.
It is much more secure, however some pages have not yet been updated to work
properly with IE7, which adheres quite a bit more closely to the
specifications.
