    The word is BOUGHT, not BROUGHT.
    It's LOSE, NOT LOOSE.
    You ask for ADVICE not ADVISE.

    For anyone that doesn't know..........

    The new Internet Explorer (7) is a Beta (test) version. This means you may find a few problems with it. Software companies generally release beta versions first, then fix any bugs that get reported back to them before they release the finished version.

    It is not recommended that you download this version to switch with the latest full release of Internet Explorer (6).

    Add to this that as a BETA version chances are your antivirus software and firewalls might have issues with it too... unless you know what you are doing then DON'T! :)

    Why are you suprised its not like IE is bug free just look at the number of patches. Beta version means YOU get to do microsofts job of debugging for them.
    I have a cunning plan!
    Proud to be dealing with my debts.

    Just a quick note. No software is bug free.

    Amen to this Firefox is more secure than internet Explorer and its just as easy to use.

    Remember ppl just because it says Microsoft this doesn't always make it the best option.

    I've always had a worry a man who would call his company micro an SOFT.

    EVERY software company provides beta version. I had beta firefox 1.5 and had a problem with copy/paste - it just wouldnt copy anything. Real pain in the butt
