So is MS going to provide a free windows license to load on the free Virtual PC they suggest so we can run IE6 & 7 side by side ?. I cant justify spending the $AUD300 for a XP home license to test a browser.

Dave -

Getting ready for IE7 here and we can't wait! We love the CSS fixes and the new JScript 5.7.

BTW, if JScript 5.7 finds its way into an upgrade patch for IE6, I will make sure that the individual responsible receives a nice bottle of his or her favorite wine :-). You see, I still have customers on Win2K that cannot upgrade to IE7, but I desperately need the performance improvements that JScript 5.7 offers.

Thanks to you and your team for a great IE7 release!!

Cheers,

- Bill

After installing IE7 I now have to run IE7 before outlook express 6 will run properly. If I launch only OE6 it acts like it is in a loop and never responds. If I try launching OE6 before IE7 both programs stop responding and I have to shut them down manually, getting the error reporting message.

I often want to check my e-mail without having to have a browser open.

Can anyone help or refer me somehere I can get help?

I have run the IE7 beta release with no problems but when I loaded up the final release it all went wrong. IE7 did not recongnise my internet connection and kept cutting me off. Outlook was OK. After a day or so I found it impossible to connect up to the internet; all that happened was that my modem window flashed on to the screen for a fraction of a section and then disappeared. I have removed IE7 and am back to IE6 and all seems to be OK. Anyone got any ideas? Perhaps Microsoft can suggest something?
