- MAdaXe42, on 10/12/2007, -7/+89I feel as if a million web developers just cried out in pain and agony, and were suddenly silenced.
- Shayer, on 10/12/2007, -10/+78guys, clear your cache, it's there, i just checked it. It's no longer release candidate!
Enjoy downloading! - steelmaverick, on 10/12/2007, -8/+59I just want to know, should I upgrade? I'm an avid Firefox user, but would there be a security risk involved if I don't?
- soogy, on 10/12/2007, -2/+52I do heavy web design, so it's important for me to have IE5, IE5.5, IE6 and IE7 together (plus, of course, Opera, Firefox, Konqueror and Safari).
You can find IE5, 5.5 and 6 standalone versions at the evolt browser archive: http://browsers.evolt.org/?ie/32bit/standalone
By using those, you could install IE7 normally. However, if you'd rather have IE6 as the normal browser and have IE7 standalone, check out this article:

- index1489, on 10/12/2007, -3/+44You can change it!
To move the menu bar on top do the following...
1. Click Start, Run, and then enter regedit into the runbox
2. Press ENTER or click OK
3. Browse to the following key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftInternet ExplorerToolbarWebBrowser
4. Click the Edit menu in regedit
5. Select New and then DWORD value
6. The name should be highlighted in the right column. Just type over this to name it:
ITBar7Position
7. Double click your new entry in the right column.
8. Change the value to 1.
9. Close regedit and open IE7 to see the change.
For those registry gurus... here's the process in one swoop:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftInternet ExplorerToolbarWebBrowser]
"ITBar7Position"=dword:00000001 - omjeremy, on 10/12/2007, -4/+44Hrmm... the new interface is going to take a while to get used to.
- MAdaXe42, on 10/12/2007, -12/+48Good god, that's unbelievably user friendly! They have some kick-ass interface designers at redmond.
- kingace, on 10/12/2007, -14/+44Still not as good as Firefox.
- Roger, on 10/12/2007, -2/+31Thats reasonable if you have a 7 KB/S connection.
- centinall, on 10/12/2007, -1/+29as someone that does a little bit of webdesign, i'm wondering if there is a way to run IE 6 and IE7 on the same installation of windows? i'm kinda worried about installing this and then not being able to test websites for IE 6 compatibility. anyone have any input or advice?
thanks - Roger, on 10/12/2007, -7/+34Some of you will probably need this:

(works great) - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -11/+355 years later....
- FabianN, on 10/12/2007, -7/+31I think everyone should install it no matter what browser they use. Better safe then sorry.
- puttly, on 10/12/2007, -7/+31LOL!! Released the day after kevin rose predicted on diggnation :p
- soogy, on 10/12/2007, -6/+29There's less risk if you update to IE7, as less security patches for IE6 are going to be released. I'd expect the IE7 team to be on their toes now that the software is RTM, so they'll be releasing updates quite soon after any issues are uncovered, otherwise they'll be pretty savagely ridiculed all over the net.
- soogy, on 10/12/2007, -8/+30It took a while to get used to Firefox and Opera, too. All redesigns need getting used to.
- garyh84, on 10/12/2007, -5/+25Uhm... right. Sorry guy, but it is better than IE6, still not as good as Opera, FF or Safari, but much better than before (not saying much... but...). Developers for the most part are thankful these changes came. Of course we all wish that there were even more changes made, like increased CSS support, but it is MS after all.
- Cyberherbalist, on 10/12/2007, -0/+19There isn't one. Nor will there be. So far as I know, it's never been discussed.
- armbar, on 10/12/2007, -15/+32I have 2.29 terabytes of bandwidth to burn, so here's a mirror for those that can't reach it from Microsoft's site. Crash my sites please!
http://files.heliosstudios.com/browsers/ie/IE7-Setup.exe - Timmaay, on 10/12/2007, -4/+21Sweet, straight from MS.
- sherifffruitfly, on 10/12/2007, -11/+28Since testing it a year ago, I've thought it was idiotic having browser navigation above the menu bar, and unchangeable. ***** IE7.
- googolplexabyte, on 10/12/2007, -4/+20@clearrecrd
hahaha, no. you can see the firefox icon on the top left.
nice skin tho. - ipodman715, on 10/12/2007, -1/+17Yes, it will be pushed out as a high-priority update on November 1st, I believe.
- OuNix, on 10/12/2007, -12/+28Too little, too late.
- Sagags, on 10/12/2007, -3/+18I'm downloading at the blazing speed of 6.8 KB/S
- clearrecrd, on 10/12/2007, -3/+18sorry - let me clear up my question - What skin is that for firefox?- cause i kinda like it.
- whizack, on 10/12/2007, -6/+21Is there a reason why you still support IE5 for web design?
Not even MS supports older than a fresh install of Win2k w/o patches, which would be IE5.5
Even then, it's been years since I've ever seen a hit on any analytics pages I've used from a < IE6 browser. You may be causing far too much headache by personally supporting such legacy browsers in your own web design.
Honestly if you used VirtualPC for testing IE6, tested on your own box with IE7/FF 1.5 or 2.0/Opera 9 you'd have over 98% of the browser share on the internet. - asuraci, on 10/12/2007, -1/+15I'm glad it's out the doors actually. Better CSS support and FINALLY working PNGs? I'm all for it.
- dolemite5005, on 10/12/2007, -4/+18Dracos, you're an idiot. Are you a developer? I've been testing my web apps on IE7 for quite some time now and it's just as easy to develop for as Firefox or any other compliant (i use the term loosely) browser.
IE6 on the other hand... that's just a dev's nightmare. - Sagags, on 10/12/2007, -10/+23no apple doesnt look like everything is poping out. its smooth and sleek

- kwanbis, on 10/12/2007, -4/+16i cant seem to find a version for my Windows 2000. Well, i assume i would have to continue using Firefox then.
- theone3, on 10/12/2007, -4/+16This will help http://www.digg.com/software/Firefox_like_Inline_Search_extension_for_IE6_7
- index1489, on 10/12/2007, -3/+15IE7 is only for XP/Vista.
- JohnKappa, on 10/25/2008, -2/+14Yeah what's the deal. ?I was asked to restart, I clicked NO, then it said something like, You Sure? I clicked yes, then it said you should consider Restarting. Honestly, WTF???
- soogy, on 10/12/2007, -4/+15What? I'm not crying in pain. I'm actually glad. This means I can slowly move away from older versions of IE. Besides, any website made since IE7 was first leaked should work in IE7, otherwise you're a failure as a web designer.
Anyhow, keep watching those browser trends; IE7 won't overtake IE6 for at least 6-12 months. - darthsnoopy, on 10/12/2007, -3/+14transparent pngs, fixed print preview, many css hacks removed, tabs. Seems like the same stuff everyone bitched about, they worked. on. hope they keep working on it...
- RexyRex, on 10/12/2007, -11/+22Firefox doesn't make me restart my computer after installing...
- titlesaysitall, on 10/12/2007, -7/+18Uhh, no.
- index1489, on 10/12/2007, -1/+12QUOTE*
A few people have asked why we recommend temporarily disabling anti-virus or anti-spyware applications (which I’ll refer to together as anti-malware) prior to installing IE7, so here’s a little insight to the situation.
Along with copying IE7 files to your system, IE7’s setup writes a large number of registry keys. A common way anti-malware applications protect your computer is by preventing writes to certain registry keys used by IE. Any registry key write that fails during setup will cause setup to fail and rollback changes. We work around the problem in most instances by checking permissions at the beginning of setup, but many anti-malware programs monitor the key rather than change permissions. Therefore, setup thinks it has access when it starts, but then fails when it later attempts to write the key.
The majority of users likely haven’t seen any such problems even with anti-malware enabled because we work with third-party vendors to identify IE7 setup as ‘safe’ based on something like digital signatures or file hashes. While this could lead us to remove the recommendation to disable anti-malware apps, we’ve decided to leave it in setup because a number of factors may still cause some customers to have this problem. Specifically:
[*]With all the anti-malware apps available, we don’t want to assume all of them work just because we haven’t heard of a problem yet.
[*]Even anti-malware apps we’ve tested sometimes require the latest definition updates. If a user doesn’t have the latest definitions, he or she may still hit a problem even though we consider the issue resolved.
[*]Failed installation is an awful user experience so we take every step to reduce the chances of setup failing.
I hope this helps answer some of your questions.

Program Manager - Chewie67, on 10/12/2007, -7/+18It may not be "easy", but you could use VirtualPC. It's free...
- soogy, on 10/12/2007, -1/+12It's actually for any post-Windows 2000 operating system. I've got it installed on Windows 2003.
- fugimax, on 10/12/2007, -4/+15Don't forget to set your default search back to Google! :)
- Shayer, on 10/12/2007, -2/+12hmm, when i downloaded it, i got it in 40sec - 1 min. Traffic must be crazy now. I'll try to find a torrent...
- Roger, on 10/12/2007, -2/+13@juanpedro
Google it dude.
Anytime you have a question, just automatically google it. - raptordrew, on 10/12/2007, -5/+15Dugg down just cause
- rkettner, on 10/12/2007, -4/+13Not to be an anti-MS jackass or something, but literally - the first two times I've run it since installing - it freezes up. I installed over IE7 RC1, but I don't see why that should be a problem. Will keep trying... and yes, I have rebooted since installing, and no... I usually don't have problems on this PC.
