Ok, lets wait and see when is this thing gonna be the next " swiss cheese" hehe.

Interestingly, the Microsoft website hasn't been updated to indicate RTM as (at least as of this writing) it still says RC1.

**MIG-31** · Oct 18, 2006, 08:55 PM

That may be due to Yahoo is the first to release it.

Quote:

Neowin

Microsoft will release the final build of IE7 today to customers, with the company expected to push the build by automatic updates on 1st November.

At the moment there is no link on Microsoft.com, but Yahoo has the final build bundled with Yahoo Mail. All you need to do is download the Yahoo edition and use WinRAR to extract the files and run IE7-Setup.exe.

I'm using this now and the is no RC1 in the list.

I downloaded from SoftPedia and it seems fine as well. However, Maxthon crashes when it's run now. Not a big deal if I choose to make a total switch, but still.

BiGBrOwNPimpsta · Oct 18, 2006, 11:13 PM

runs great, dont see any changes from RC1 which i didn't expect but sure is fast and IE7 has been stable for the most part ever since RC1.

i've only had one crash with IE7 RC1..... and it pissed me off cause i was downloading a 5.1gb file and was 80% complete from a slow server. and lost it... completely...

If you're using the one that links to, please check your version. I just downloaded from that link, installed it and its....

INTERNET EXPLORER 6

EDIT: OK...here's the scoop on this (at least from my experience):

The install package REMOVED IE 7 (Apparently) and then prompted for a Restart of the computer. When I restarted, my IE was reverted to IE6! I don't know why.

But, I re-downloaded from the Yahoo source again, and ran the installer a second time and NOW, it's back to IE7.

Soooooo....if for some reason anyone ends up with IE6 again after using this, either download the file again OR run the installer again to see if it fixes it.

EVERYTHING on the installer package on my first attempt showed that it was supposed to be installing IE 7. All the splash screens etc. So, I'm still at a loss as to why I ended up with IE6 the first time.

EDIT 2: Well, I just installed the package downloaded from the link I posted later in this thread. Apparently, what the Yahoo package failed to do was to complete the installation after the system restart. That's what's going on with the second system right now. In fact, there's been TWO restarts as a result of installing IE 7 Final on this second system.

I'm referring to the link that MIG posted for the download from Yahoo. See my edit in my post above. A second download and second install has fixed the problem.

EDIT: BTW, here's another link that provides a package that doesn't have to be unpacked if one doesn't wish to use the Yahoo tools.

Updated both my 32-bit and x64 version, and I'm back on Opera now.

Dyre Straits · Oct 19, 2006, 01:16 AM

Microsoft has updated the download now:

The is NO problem with the yahoo version i got from Neowin,which is where i got my download from. i did not see the softpedia download at the time. And i also avoided from installing the Yahoo Crap. (All you need to do is download the Yahoo edition and use WinRAR to extract the files and run IE7-Setup.exe.)

And the version is shows as 7.0.5730.11 like it should do..

Are you sure you did not get a corrupt download or you're installation did not run correctly.

I edited my posts earlier to reflect what I think was happening. Seems, for some reason, the installation didn't continue after restarting the computer.

d/ling right now from MSFT's website. i honestly thought it was going to be a 200Mb d/l or something. i was surprised to see how small it actually is!

For a web browser! Even MS isn't that bad.

Matth · Oct 19, 2006, 05:20 PM

Most common complaint - where's the history button !

Answers to that:
1. CTRL-SHIFT-H keyboard shortcut
2. At the bottom of the "recent pages" dropdown beside the Forward button.
3. The "Favourites" star is closest, as the panel opens to Favourites, Feeds or History, whatever it was showing before - leave it on history and it acts as the history button.

The other things to practice are:
CTRL-Click link - open in TAB (backgrounded)
CTRL-SHIFT-Click link - open in TAB
And finally, getting out of the window closing habit when using tabs.

Iria · Oct 19, 2006, 05:36 PM

Well, I tested it, and it seems like (at least for me) if you use a program that uses IE's engine, like Maxthon, FireFox with IETab or FeedDemon's Internal browser, it'll crash the program. At least with Maxthon and FireFox / IETab it's pretty consistent and occurs in about 30 seconds to a minute. I've only seen one FD crash.

Backed out the install, back to IE6.

Robert McClelland · Oct 19, 2006, 05:51 PM

Opera RulesSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

I'd herd they going added protection fraud later on in Opera hehe :P Ya I would have updated this too.

Vikingod · Oct 19, 2006, 06:01 PM

Meh, Im not that impressed. Its much slower than Opera, and tabs feel funny to me. Text is blurry as well.

I will say they did a nice job using the screen, I like how the view looks. Other than that, Opera blows it out of the water.

i guess i'm surprised because when ie6 came out, it also came out w/an updated version of outlook express attached. that made the overall d/l larger than ie7 is now. that is if i remember correctly.

I remember downloading IE5 on a 28.8 connection THREE TIMES because it kept timing out at 96%.

28.8 kb/sec [meanign it actually went at about 22]....55-ish megabyte file.....gawd what a ngihtmare

but yea....wtf are you smoking CDs....the entire windows XP OS comes on about a 500 MB disc, and that includes integrating SP2 and hotfixes....200 for a browser...hot damn

TheBlackCat · Oct 20, 2006, 03:42 AM

I still prefer firefox, but it does have some nice features that I would like to see in firefox (some, but not all, of which are already present in FF2.0 I believe).
