Internet Explorer 7.0

Today, my Windows Updater told me that I had new things I had to download to my computer so that I have the most up to date version of Windows, etc. I was thinking, oh this may be a patch that I need to download or something. So, I checked for the things that needed to be installed. I found out that it was Internet Explorer 7.0 that needed to be installed. Now, if I didn't install it, then the updater would keep harassing me and reminding me that I have this to install. I thought, instead of doing that, and being annoyed, I might as well do it now, and then I could use Internet Explorer 7.0 as my third browser, if I for some odd reason didn't feel like using my first two... So, I downloaded this software and installed it.

And my opinion of Internet Explorer 7.0? It's a piece of shit. In my opinion, if you cannot load yourself for me to browse some websites and this is after installation, then its value is worth less than toilet paper, or Nortel stock. (Or rather, max (toilet paper, Nortel stock)) Way to go Microsoft, you've created another piece of shit that I won't be using.

Windows Updates gives you the option to not install something and to "not remind me again". Just so you know the next time it tells you to install something you don't want...

I don't have IE 7 but Jas says it has a bunch of tabs, like Firefox?

Yes, it has tabs. This is from when I saw it as a Beta version at a friend's house. It's just a rip-off version of Firefox, that's more badly written, that freezes on start-up etc. etc.
