Upgraded to IE7

Tue, 24 Oct 2006 10:06:05 GMT

This morning I upgraded my production laptop to Internet Explorer 7. The upgrade was without problems and I haven't experienced any problems with it. While I'll continue using Firefox as my preferred browser I still have some e-banking and some customer stuff I need to do through IE (using the nice IE Tab extension for Firefox) so it's nice to get the security updates etc. that IE7 affords.

I haven't messed too much around with the IE7 but I'm impressed by what I have seen so far (new favorites, RSS support, tabbed browsing and dedicated search bar). I think it will become a strong competitor to Firefox for the non-geeks among us... :-)

Internet Explorer 7 Review on the SuperSite for Windows. The review touches on design, new features, security web standards compliance and when and how to upgrade. A nice read.

Detecting IE7+ in Javascript

Abe Fettig points out how to detect IE7+ in your JavaScript code in a post called "Detecting IE7+ in Javascript". I know you probably use a browser detection script but untill it is updated you might want to patch it yourself.
