[Thinkpad] IE 7 RC1

[Colgrove, George]

I've been using it on my laptop.  I haven't noticed and difference in
speed. I like the way they implemented tabs - I think it is a bit better
than Mozilla.  One thing that was interesting is sometimes when viewing
a page with shockwave or flash, it asks for me to download the
application, even though I have it installed!  And when I do go ahead
and download it, Adobe thinks I have Netscape, mozilla, opera (and one
other) - not IE!  Humph!  So with some web pages, I cannot see the flash
content (with dialup - no big loss!)

Has anyone tried the beta now RC1 Internet Explorer browser? IF so, what
do you think?

I find it to be pig slow. It is the slowest browser I've tried. Slow to
open, slow to operate, and slow to close.Opera and Mozilla run rings
around it.

Worse, version Beta 1 screwed up something to do with Norton Internet
Security's install routine. When I open IE, I have to fight off numerous
3 sequence Norton pop ups something about "This MSI must not run" or
somesuch.
Launching Word (Office 2003) gets the same treatment.

IE broke Norton! 

I guess I'll have to uninstall and reload but may wait to see if the IE
final release will fix what IE beta 1 broke.
