Internet Explorer 7

Big Dave

Knowing how late I am with technology this may be old hat but from what I understand internet explorer 7 was released yesterday. I just downloaded it and love it. You can open several pages and it tabs them at the top. You just have to click on a tab to go to that page. Makes navigating alot easier. You can also pull up a page that shows all of the pages you have loaded in thumbnails that you can click on.

The Beta caused big problems in Quickbooks 2006 versions. Take care downloading if you're using QB or check their site for information.

I've been using IE 7 all week with QuickBooks and haven't had any problems. They must have worked out the bugs (that's what beta versions are for).

I've had it since the release and love it! No problems with QB either but I'm miserable enough with the older version, I last updated in '03.

It's also got an automatic feed reader (with a magic dinger even), which is nice.

What? My sound is usually off if that is what you mean by 'dinger'.

even if you dont use IE, install IE7, why? it will patch many security holes in your system that are accessible even when u do run just firefox.

I have been using it for close to a week now, The tabs are cool. I used to use firefox but had some compatability issues with a site I use alot, then I switched to Avant browser, another tabs based browser that uses the IE engine (it used IE 6 and doesnt work with IE 7) if you are using IE6 and want tabs google "avant browser" and give it a whirl.

The only issue I have with IE7 is that the tabs cause an issue with an online office suite I use to share documents with clients. It is a javascript issue so until the bug is fixed in IE7 I access that site via netscape 8.1 (which lets you choose between IE rendering and firefox rendering). No javascript issues with netscape.

IE7 should work with QB 2006 and above but DON'T download it if you have QB 2005. There is a link on the website to prevent people at your company from downloading IE7 inadvertently. Intuit states it is clearly NOT compatable with QB 2005 or earlier versions.

I know -- wasnt that a pain?? We upgraded 2 of our computers without checking with Quickbooks Online and they ended up being useless. gur...
But I think Quickbooks recently fixed or upgraded their desktop version and their online version so it may be ok.
