CLARION CALL: IE 7 Not Ready For Prime Time

Source: saunderslog.com

Before the end of the month, IE 7 is slated to be pushed to PC’s everywhere.  It will be an automatic download.

It isn’t ready, Microsoft.  I’ve installed it with Windows Vista RC 2, and sites I use regularly are breaking.  Two examples:

  • The Globe and Mail: comment icons are shifted into the centre of the text.
  • WordPress Admin Console: the trackback form doesn’t open completely. 

Either leave your dog at home, o. make sure it’s trained bette. before inviting it into my house to make a mess on my carpet.

Please!
