Microsoft Internet Explorer 7 RC1

[Jeremy1]

but can we help those who may travel to the dark side?

I say let them screw up their Windows install, but I doubt what you posted is against the rules.

[shajiby]

this, just like BETA3 still doesnt install for me:(

[kstruble]

After installing IE7 RC1, the little up/down arrows on Neowin's homepage (to toggle announcement view, browse the latest announcements, etc.) no longer do anything.

Anyone else notice that?

[illicit]

I am downloading it right now.

Thanks for the heads up.

ACID2 test comparison with Opera:

Not that the ACID2 test really matters, but I thought the result was quite funny.

Woops, I was going to reply seriously to that, as I read 'Note that the ACID2 test really matters,'

Anyways, I agree. It's funny to see. However, I'm glad they're fixing more common bugs first.

I only have to add 1 conditional line for IE7 to my page!

tab browsing just doesnt feel the same in IE. In firefox its very smooth, tabs r moveable. The 1 close button per tab is just plain stupid; something i hope firefox will drop in ver2

i even feel more comfortable with IE6 non tab than using IE7

and way to go MS

i unistalled IE7 beta3 and u give /SYSTEM ROOT/CMD not found error at startup...

I love what they are doing with Firefox 2, but you are right about the tab browsing in IE7 not feeling right.

RC1 works pretty damn awesome for me. I'm very satisfied. I had problems with betas with rendering pages correctly etc, but this one works awesome.

[gohankid77]

Definite speed increase compared to Beta 3. I wish I could say "screw IE6 because IE7 is much easier to develop Web pages for", but alas, 'tis not possible yet.

[kampioen]

this build is soooooooooo much faster.. yeey

my experience with IE 7 RC1 is pretty bad. After installing it and restarting computer I've finished with message saying that normalize.dll is missing. I tried everything, but after hour of thinking I've decied to reinstall Windows.

[XerXis]

hehehe, good point. :D

PS: by the way, RC1 is running fine here. Still have some troubles like it won't go automatic for the next blank windows when u're on a internet banking site, and it still eating my RAM with 2,3 or four tabs opened. Using like 50mb.

Going back again to I.E 6 =|

ie 6 uses arround 80 mb in total when 3 sites are open, about firefox and opera i won't even start. So 50 mb looks very decent to me.

i am on a corporate network and i dont get the tabs browsing feature. Not impressed.

any one else had this problem?

had you read the threda you just posted on, you'd see a solution for the normaliz.dll problem.... go back ONE page...

[Crazysah]

Thanks. I downloaded it and installed it and it seems very good. Good going Microsoft!

[Yuxi]

After reading all the comments I'm inclined to try this now, after my experiences with Beta 2 :)

[mancode20]

I echo the sentiments in this thread. It's pretty good. Loads pages faster than Beta 3. My only problem is, has anyone else noticed the font looks weird when you type in form boxes? Like say searching on Google. Maybe it's because I have ClearType on. It just looks strange. Did they change the default font from Beta 3?

Cleartype doesn't seem to work in Javascript created text boxes and text. (Like from a popdown menu, etc.)

IE 7 now has the drag and drop tabs. you can move them around. It aperied in beta 3. and might have improved in RC

[Rudnartim]

I'm loving it, never had a problem with IE7 minus the favorites issue which is taken care of now. never had any problems installing or updating overall defiantely pleased with RC1

can someone tell me if https://online.wamu.com/IdentityManagement/Logon.aspx is working with IE7 yet?

The logon screen works just fine. Post your account info and I will login and see if it works fully.

[maeby]

hahaha well usually you would just get a site error saying wamu.com doesnt support IE7 because of the use of SSL 3.0 or some **** like that

Nope, there is no error. So I guess it works then.

Is there a way to select a favourite (Left click) & get it to open in a new tab by default instead of middle clicking yet as per older builds?
