Hi, first of all I wanted to tell you I was skeptical about the new IE7. A firend of mine recommended it to me, and I downloaded the craked one of course. Easy to install, no problems at all. I really like the zoom facility, wich Opera has but Mozilla Firefox didn't(for this I rather preffered Opera).The tabbed browsing(it was about time to be implemented) is a thing I was expecting anyway. Interesting that you can set many pages for Home.

To be honest I expected it to have more options and to be more customisable but its a great step ahead.

I personally had no conflicts, never shut down unexpectedly, so I really like it, despite all the bad coments against it.

Thank you in advance!

Best regards,

Stuart Lacheen

i was impresse by the LAYOUT and features of IE7, but it loses HANDS DOWN in regards to performance to FF2.0

I use the FF2.0 (mmoy custim) build and use IE7 mainly only for developing and testing.

It's a PITA because its slow....i hate the delay in scrolling..when i use the mousewheel to scroll a page there is a very slight, but noticeable delay which drives me crazy.

IE7 is pretty fast, performance wise not really that much difference here, opens faster then Fx2, I dont expierence any lagging at all really with the scroll bar, only thing I dont like is that I still get some popups on some sites I visit that Fx doesnt get, only reason I use FX is cause of that reason...

      Hello, I have used a few TEAM Group SSDs, USB flash drives, and Micro SDXC cards in the past. They all seemed to work fine. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky

      "just $100 per TB"? Just? Are we trying to make this seem like the new normal? Kinda weird to make it sound like that is not a ridiculously expensive asking price.

      The reviews you refer to mean nothing. Where there is no journalism there is no reason to call the gaming media's opinion pieces "reviews". For GP games there is indeed a metric for success - increasing subscriptions. Which turns in revenue. The only circumstance in which subs do not rise when great is being released is a Game Pass system where the company is close to fully saturated with customers in a subscription. However, in that case as the theory goes you spend aplenty in all kind of games - from shady live service cash cows and customer offending agitprop crap in purple colours to robust and entertaining single player games. And keep a solid level of profitability. Ignoring the simply innocuous but mid games MGS has released primarily of the second kind.
    • Report: Microsoft to use AWS to help GitHub deal with a major surge in demand

      Report: Microsoft to use AWS to help GitHub deal with a major surge in demand by Pradeep Viswanathan Thanks to the surge of coding AI agents, GitHub's usage has skyrocketed over the past 12 months. To meet this demand, GitHub started with a plan in October 2025 to increase capacity by 10x. However, by early this year, the company realized that it needed 30x scale. This rapid growth has caused severe strain on the platform's reliability, resulting in several small outages over the past few months. In April, GitHub published a long blog post explaining the steps it is taking to resolve these reliability issues. In the post, the company also confirmed that it is working toward a multi-cloud architecture for better resilience. Today, Business Insider reported that GitHub is turning to Amazon Web Services to help deal with a major surge in AI-driven coding activity. It is important to note that GitHub is still in the process of moving completely to the Azure cloud. The current plan is to move the platform fully to Azure by 2027 so that it can scale better as per developer demand. Therefore, the current decision to utilize AWS might be part of a short-term plan to meet immediate demand. A Microsoft spokesperson confirmed that GitHub is using multiple cloud providers with the following statement: For Microsoft, the decision highlights the operational pressure behind the AI boom. GitHub has to stay reliable for developers at a time when rivals such as Codex, Cursor, Claude Code, and other AI coding tools are gaining attention. And the decision to use AWS for computing capacity seems practical given the circumstances.
