Microsoft released the final beta for Internet Explorer 7 today which brings it a big step closer to being released. It looks pretty good, and after 5 years of gathering dust and being the cracker’s (black hat hackers) dream, it’s way overdue. I’ll install it once the final release comes out, but IE 7 is not going to displace Firefox for daily use. The reason I’m happy IE 7 is coming out is because there are web applications I have to use that are IE only. So when I have to fire up IE, it won’t suck so much anymore! IE sucking less is teh win for everyone! So hooray for IE 7!

I’ve installed IE7b3 on another computer, and it’s a lot smoother-running than the previous beta; I also like the improvements made. As long as Firefox has the extensibility factor in its favor, I won’t even think about switching to other browsers. I like all the extensions available that add functionality no other browser can offer.
Until Microsoft can figure out all the major bugs in IE7 (which might not be until its final release), I never recommend installing it as a main browser. I’ve had a lot of people complain to me how it destroyed the computer’s dll library during uninstallation.
