Internet Explorer 7 - wow!

Can I just say "wow" - just installed IE7 on my dev PC (after imaging it
first - I'm not that mad) and the effect on a database type application I'm
developing is under ASP.NET v1.1 is amazing:

It feels a lot faster switching from record to record so I assume JavaScript
has been given a boost. We use the powerful but sluggish NetAdvantage
controls which make heavy use of JavaScript.

It doesn't flicker anymore when switching between records! We don't use
Smart Navigation as it caused too many problems with the NetAdvantage
controls. Heck, the application almost feels like a Windows client app -
that's only taken 10 years ;-)

And the fact that sending a link by email now doesn't include that annoying
URL attachment which is always blocked is worth the upgrade.

Shame our customers won't be running it for a while :-(

Any showstopper's yet though?

Cheers, Rob.

Yes, IE7 really is a lot faster than IE6. Now it's almost as fast as
Firefox and Opera. ;)

IE7 will be available through windows update, so I expect that quite a
few will be using it soon. I believe that there is a lot of web
developers that plan to drop support for IE6 as soon as possible, i.e.
when usage drops below a certain percent.

Heck we already dropped support for IE6 basically and are recommending our
clients to upgrade to FF2 or IE7 as soon as possible, our sites still work
in IE6 but really we dont want to support it now that MS is going to push
IE7 through windows update in november now...

I certainly intend to do that.

And what are you going to tell your clients when they realize IE7 deletes
their Favorites when trying to drag and drop?

Can I just say "wow"
Sure, but its still in stone age if we talk about webstandards. It still
doesn't support css and will be the same hell for webdevelopers who
wants to be standard compliant. Just take a look at
http://www.webstandards.org/files/acid2/test.html
and compare it's rendering with other browsers...

wow you people and ACID tests, guess what they mean nothing! it's just how
well can it handle errors in CSS, not how well can it render... btw FireFox
doesnt render CSS correctly also! no browser does! so they are all in the
stone age compared to the CSS 2 & 3 standards... IE 7 renders CSS 2 a LOT
better then IE6 and near close to FireFox, IE8 will have all the remaining
problems worked out from what MS says
