IE7 Breaks Outlook 2003

| So, what did I do? I removed IE 7 from all of my users computers and
| faster than you can say "microsoft needs help", they were all
| printing Outlook emails with headers again.
|
| Im in the process of reviewing Office 2007 and Windows Vista,
| and it wont be much different than this review.

64-bit Vista is the way to go

| After that, the focus will go strongly on 64 bit. We tried the RC2
| Vista 64 bit and learned that you can install everything, including
| Raid and Sound Blaster X-Fi but, despite 64 graphic drivers from
| Nvidia and ATI, many games wont even install or run on Vista 64
| bit. The industry expects that the big move will take place after
| Q2 2007, so when Vista starts standing on its feet.

Support for Microsoft Windows XP x64 Not Worth Anything
,----[ Quote ]
| Almost no one is supporting Microsoft Windows XP x64, the 64-bit
| version of Windows XP.
|
| There are no Antivirus programs that work with x64 and most
| applications won't work with x64 (unless they run the crippled
| 32-bit equivalent).
|
| Programs won't install printer drivers because, apparently, no one
| can figure out how to write a 64-bit printer driver.
|
| If Windows XP x64 has this much trouble with basic elements such
| as printer drivers, how can anyone expect the much maligned Windows
| Vista to be of any value?
|
| Frankly, my high opinion of Microsoft is quickly fading away, and
| my shop used to be a staunch Microsoft shop.
|
| Open Source alternatives are looking better and better every
| day.

| Like many Microsoft desktop users this week I clicked on the icon
| 'upgrade to Explorer 7'. Mistake. Outlook and Express disappeared.
| As did the Explorer multi-choice menu. Panic. Has it deleted all
| my emails?

Microsoft Internet Explorer (IE) 7.0 Sucks!

| I know Microsoft's release of IE 7.0 is in beta, but I still didn't

| What Microsoft hoped would help it win back Firefox "switchers" has
| done nothing but add one more to their growing ranks.

IE 7 Cautionary Tale
,----[ Quote ]
| After updating to the new browser, none of the computers
| could access QuickBooks, the CRM system or e-mail. The IT
| manager had to remotely administrator each machine, from
| the U.S. He turned back to a restore point a day earlier,
| undoing the chaos caused by IE 7.

IE 7 bugs abound
,----[ Quote ]
| "But browser testers may already be at risk, according to security
| researcher Tom Ferris. Late Tuesday, Ferris released details of a potential
| security flaw in IE 7. An attacker could exploit the flaw by crafting a
| special Web page that could be used to crash the browser or gain complete
| control of a vulnerable system, Ferris said in an advisory on his Web site.
| Microsoft had no immediate comment on Ferris' alert."
