IE 7 Released
IE 7 was released earlier today.... oddly enough it was available from Yahoo before Microsoft... but either way Microsoft now has it available from http://www.microsoft.com/ie. I used this during the pre-release versions and actually installed it earlier today... I'm a big fan and encourage the upgrade... The phishing filter will be a nice addition.... and it's nice to see IE with tabs finally... I really think that IE7 will give Firefox 2.0 a run for it's money...
There are a few compatibility issues (primarily SSL related) that were discussed on the IE blog earlier. You can read more about these here.
While I'm sure there are plenty of bugs to be ironed out over time and that updates will be seen regularly just as the are now for IE6... I'd definately recommend the upgrade.. the new features make it worthwhile... I'm going to be abandoning Firefox on my Windows machines for the next couple days in order to test drive IE7 Final... If I find any problems I'll post a short write-up on them...
One feature that Microsoft should be given kudos for.... the update during install.. It was so nice to install a product and have it check for security updates before I could use it... It gave me more confidence when I ran it for the first time.
Peace,
