IE7 Blues - Part II

February 1st, 2006 Posted in Browsers, Main Page, Microsoft, Software

I got a nice surprise from Internet Explorer 7 this morning when I restarted my laptop
- an error message about missing DLLs, which is preventing Windows from
starting up properly. So I'm at a conference this morning with a
useless laptop because I jumped at a beta at the urging of Microsoft's
public relations agency. I wonder if Microsoft will peel a few bucks of
its $35 billion war chest to get my technician to get Windows going
again? My advice to anyone thinking about trying IE7 beta 2 is wait for
the upgrade to be released. You could also use Firefox or Opera.
Update: I should have read CNet's Ina Fried's post before I downloaded the IE7 beta.

    That sucks. I actually downloaded the beta with no problem (I even used Firefox to do it) and installed it and it worked pretty well — it quit once with no notice (the window just disappeared) but other than that it's worked fine. It's fast, and it has tabs, and it handles a lot of Web stuff better than IE6 did.

    Well that is extra crappy. I continue to have no issues — maybe it knows I had a blue badge once ;-) – Stuart
