IE7 Bugs and Reviews 851
An anonymous reader wrote to mention a Register article in which the possibility is raised of the current build dumping Yahoo and Google toolbars. At the same time, GWBasic writes "I've posted a review on IE 7 Beta 1. It is very clear that, unlike when Microsoft targeted Netscape, they are using their classic method of producing superior software by catering to the needs of the user. This is not IE 6 with a few features borrowed from the competition, but rather a clear step in the evolution of user-centric design." Flexbeta and ZDNet have looks at the new browser as well.

Wait, you mean IE isn't Atomic, Consistent, Isolated, and Durable? Oh wait, you're talking about a different Acid.

Well, sure, but can your great big so-called fire-thingy install spyware for you, automatically, without you even noticing, huh?
Beat that, you Open Source geeks - only IE7 is fully compatible with spyware straight out of the box!

MS should use some of their other UI ideas to augment this:
The "STOP" button spins while loading the page. Then, when the page is loaded, the button is disabled for five seconds and a popup appears that says "Your page has loaded. The refresh button will be available in five seconds. Click here to refresh now" and there will be a button to click for refresh and a progress bar. This window automatically closes and the user is returned to the browser after five seconds. There could also be a "Are you sure you want to refresh?" dialog box where the "Yes" and "Cancel" buttons randomly change position each time the dialog box appears.

You can't make a recommendation out of "when one program crashes, it doesn't make you have to reboot your whole system"? Or "you can now go weeks (months!) without ever seeing a BSOD"?
At least let them use W2K if you're not going to give them XP. No one deserves the kind of pain you're continuing to inflict on these poor people.
