Microsoft is infamous for releasing programs before they are really ready to work without errors. Internet Explorer 7 sets the new standard for nightmarish releases.
For the last 10 years or so, Microsoft has been the dominant company in the internet browser game. The Internet Explorer program simply dominated anything else that tried to compete with it such as Netscape. Part of the domination came from the fact Explorer came pre-loaded on most computers, but I digress.
In the last few years, Explorer has started to lose market share. Free browser programs have been popping up and roughly 20 percent of people have switched to them. Mozilla Firefox is one program that has become very popular. It offers an entirely different interface and many people prefer it to Explorer.
Feeling the heat of competition, Microsoft has launched Internet Explorer 7. As tends to be the case on the net, it has an entirely new look that is suspiciously similar to Firefox. For whatever that is worth, Explorer 7 is a disaster. The program freezes, refuses to load sites, blocks sites and is more or less just a disaster. If you haven't tried it yet, DO NOT! If you have, it is time to remove it! If you don't, you will find yourself in a heap of frustration as the program glitches grind your computer to a halt.
In truth, Microsoft has some excuse on this one. The program is in beta testing. This means it is the initial version and the company expects problems will occur. It then hopes to fix them. Whenever you see a "beta" version of a program, this is what you should expect. The problem, in this case, is Yahoo is marketing the program as though it is fully functional and ready to go. This is misleading and many people are downloading the program only to have massive programs.
Internet Explorer 7 will eventually be a solid, functional program. It is not that now! If you have it, go back to Explorer 6 or Firefox if you are having problems. Trying to repair the browser is next to impossible.
