In Redmond must have some big problem on the uptake! It is wonderfully absurd that at the end of 2006 there are still the basis for a - well - approximate compatibility between IE7 and Firefox! Despite the official release - albeit with a limited set of locations - 7 of Internet Explorer, the page rendering engine still suffers from obvious flaws programming! Without going into many details averted list only two high profile bugs still present in this official release!

First of all NPCs are made ​​differently from GIF ... and, worse still, in absolute position undergo strange contours depending on how it runs on IE! Obvious bug? O madness of some junior developer?

On the CSS pseudo class: hover is still not supported on all TAG, although many take for the blog running! But which system? See W3C ...
A simple p: last-child is virtually ignored! Microsoft has rightly supported p: first-child. Now, if it implements the first thing that costs you implement even last? Mystery ...

The apex of the absurd, then, is obtained with bulleted lists! Hear hear! IE7 behaves exactly like IE6! From the series: you have brought with flawed code? Too many copy and paste of course! If definitie a list with the canons and a custom image as UL LI list-point, do not try to use a float element LI, the picture disappears mysteriously, just as they did on IE6! The one, needless to say, to make things right is the usual - old - FireFox!

Blog IE7 there are numerous complaints. Although it appreciated the efforts of the Microsoft behemoth to start a blog during the development of a software like IE7, however, remains the question of the effectiveness of this move. They really listened to the requests of users-developers? The blog has been opened with IE7 too late?

Once again we have to wait for a service-pack next adventure ...

Version 7 of Microsoft's browser was (finalemente) released in English (it was released almost simultaneously with the release of FireFox 2). In short - through the Windows Automatic Update service - will be installed on millions of machines, such as system patches. Someone has already criticized this move by Microsoft umpteenth shouting misconduct. Web developers, however, more interested in knowing what will Internet Explorer 6 (IE6) and how will comportarso in developing Web sites

The release through Windows Update is scheduled for early November! It follows that within a week will be nice that IE6 buried. Web developers will have to upgrade your PC of course, found herself without a version 6 of which make the canonical test of compatibility.

It is clear that those who - like us - is absolutely manic updates and must have the latest release of software, is between a rock and a hard place. Also - obviously - IE6 is dead! And about time too! A candidate browser to be sure - if there ever is one - in the near future (next day) is definitely IE7, since the latter will undergo patches (service packs) security.

From developers understand that IE6 is abandoned! Additionally, Microsoft has explicitly advised to move urgently to version 7, if there was any need to repeat it. Web developers must adopt a machine with IE6 for testing? By not update it? It would have suffered attacks from all sides and avoid going on the net?

The obvious solution - and beneficial to Microsoft - is that developers and end users to pass immediately to IE7, whether they like it or not!

A few days ago I installed - on a special machine - the beta of Microsoft Internet Explorer 7. The installation lasted an eternity, inflating the PC robbaccia as usual. The first problems came to the first required reboot, as usual, missing icons, strange flickering, etc. ...

At Microsoft we have been working for years now and still do not support CSS as Christ commands! You just can not understand how they can develop bad. They will have a team of 50 people at least have all the money of the land but, nevertheless, persist in creating garbage software.

Congratulations to the team instead of FireFox, and in beta for version 2 already looks a JavaScript 1.7!

What can I say ... it would be better that Microsoft stopped producing its own browser, since it can not quite keep pace with the times. Delays and continuous structural deficiencies make IE basically useless. The worms then appear to be at home in Redmond, then you are strongly advised to stay away. The development team: please, supported the PNG format with transparency are 24bit ... centuries FireFox implemented it! Come on ...
Hopefully Firefox 2.0 arrives as soon as possible!
