technical solutions and commentary

I have been runing Internet Explorer 7 Beta 2 at home for a few weeks now. The interface has been changed, or should I say simplified. It takes a litlle to get used to if you are used to IE 5/6. After using it for a few weeks I do like the interface better. There is finally built-in tabbed browsing whcih Opera and  Firefox have  had for quite a while now. I have run into some compatibility issues with certain web-based products which require Internet Explorer, but that is to be expected with a beta product.

Stability wise, the browase has been running solid on my PC and hasn’t crashed at all on me over the last few weeks. I haven’t used the RSS feeds feature yet because I still like prefer managng RSS using a differernt application such as feed demon. I’ve tried using the RSS features in Firefox and even installed web-based RSS managers for IS and firefox in the past. I just don’t like the idea of having a browser manage RSS feeds for me. However, for a casual user of RSS feeds it should work well.
