[OPLINTECH] Internet Explorer 8 Final Release out

[Dan Will]

Hi all,

If you're testing Win7, you're out of luck though. The beta of IE 8 on Win7
(IMHO) is only fair. The IE 8 site says that there will be a final IE8 on
the RC of Win7, whenever that might come along. 

BTW, Is there anyone using the Win7 Beta besides me? I personally am
impressed with it. And as in the past, MS has come out with the OS that the
previous version was touted to be. I was an NT5 beta user & (I hate to admit
this) ME beta user. Beta 2 of ME seemed mighty good (at that time) but, MS
ruined it by the time they RTMed it.

Anyway, W7 has been rock steady for me. No major driver problems. It didn't
like my video driver (NVidia GeForce FX 5200) but there is a driver
available through Windows update. W7 was supposed to support Vista drivers
but, they must have changed something at the kernel level. Other than that,
no problems at all with drivers. I've been using it daily since it was
released for testing. The only thing I haven't been able to install is TLC's
circ software but, I knew that wouldn't fly because Vista cries about Oracle
V9 not being compatible (it will still install on Vista). W7 just refuses to
install Oracle 9 - period. Also, I had a few problems with Symantec
installing (but that could have been just my problem). ClamWin AV installed
perfectly and runs great. W7 seems faster, file transfer times are
noticeably quicker. Opening Network, displays other hardware on the network
much quicker than Vista. The only thing I haven't gotten used to yet (& am
unsure how I feel about it) is libraries. I use home directories on the BDC
for all of our staff & mine can't be added to the library because it's not
indexed properly. Oh Well. I'll look into that sometime when I have nothing
else to do (yeah, like that time will ever come! Lol )

 

If your using it, your thoughts?
