Stalk3r Posted February 18, 2007 Share Posted February 18, 2007 Since I use firefox, I haven't found it necessary to install IE7, hence I've got IE6 installed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zeroday Posted February 21, 2007 Share Posted February 21, 2007 I tried to upgrade once, but it kept giving me DEP errors after rebooting :unsure:. Haven't considered upgrading since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fanboynz Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 haven't upgraded from IE6, but then again I don't use Internet Explorer. No reason for me to upgrade basically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccgr Posted February 24, 2007 Share Posted February 24, 2007 my work has sites only compatible with IE6 so they prohibit upgrading, I imagine many other companies holding back as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Decryptor Veteran Posted February 24, 2007 Veteran Share Posted February 24, 2007 I upgraded to IE7 right after it was released, mainly just to get the new fixes for app's that use them. Never use it as my main browser though, i barely even use IETab (haven't come across a IE only (e.g. badly written) site in a while) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
traderonline Posted February 25, 2007 Share Posted February 25, 2007 i have ie6 on my old laptop. i think it is not powerful enough to handle ie7 because it has only 128mb ram :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calum Veteran Posted February 25, 2007 Veteran Share Posted February 25, 2007 i try not to use ie6 at all, some sites require it tho *sighs* I'm not going anywhere near ie7 Why? But why? But seriously, why? But I honestly do not understand why? But seriously, there are loads of advantages over IE 6! But SECURITY? But seriously, why don't you use IE 7? But why are u not goin anywhere near IE 7? But it's awesome! But seriously! But...oh I'm out of breath now, just tell my why you say "*sighs* I'm not going anywhere near ie7" please. It has many benefits over IE 6, best of all security and also tabs. Even if you're not going to use it, it would be best to upgrade wouldn't it for the few times that you do need to use it?

Calum Veteran Posted February 25, 2007 Veteran Share Posted February 25, 2007 haha lmao. Still though weed lover, you've got to admit IE 7 is better than IE 6, right? Even if you're not using it, it is best to upgrade. If not, then can you name me 5 reasons to choose IE 6 over IE 7, please? lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+InsaneNutter MVC Posted February 25, 2007 MVC Share Posted February 25, 2007 haha lmao.Still though weed lover, you've got to admit IE 7 is better than IE 6, right? Even if you're not using it, it is best to upgrade. If not, then can you name me 5 reasons to choose IE 6 over IE 7, please? lol. You want to own a variety of spyware You don?t like tabs You?re a Firefox fanboy and don?t want to add +1 to IE7 downloads Your windows isn?t genuine You run some software that?s not compatible with IE7 at the moment I?m just thinking of random stupid reasons why someone might not want to upgrade but some are valid reasons. I personally think IE7 is a great improvement and have been using it since you could download the beta of it. It?s about time IE got an upgrade its looked and generally functioned the same since IE4... unless its changed and I just don?t remember. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shihchiun Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 I use it at school... they won't upgrade. I suppose it would cause mass panic when everybody sees a different version, but I want my tabs... I could run Firefox off a portable drive, but I can't be bothered, so I'm still using IE6.

Rappy Veteran Posted February 26, 2007 Veteran Share Posted February 26, 2007 I have Internet Explorer 7.0 installed but I know alot of people that visit my sites use IE 6.0 so I assume theres still alot of people out that are using it or just haven't bothered to update...

ThisSiteHasLostItsCharm Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 I upgraded to 7 as i don't like core system components being out of date (and a ton of app's rely on it, like Steam or stuff like Maxthon) ditto, i only use it for the mu site but it's nice have the latest stuff.

way2quik Posted February 27, 2007 Author Share Posted February 27, 2007 well... i've decided to roll back to IE6. as far as i'm concerned, i never had any problems with ie6 about crashes and lag. maybe my 512mb ram just isn't enough, but i don't know. FF and Opera run smooth compared to IE7. my school library uses ie7, but all the computer labs use ie6. weird. thanks for all the replies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RuudJacobs.NET Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 Why are you being so specific by adding the '6' behind 'IE'.... :shifty: I've upgraded to 7 because it is safer, then I completely disabled it in all possible ways. I reckoned that a-bit-safer software which is disabled is safer than unsafe software which is disabled... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
