IE7 is great. Sorry.

I can't hide it any longer. I think IE7 is fantastic. When I
proclaimed this opinion to the other hacks in the office, my comment
was met with derision. That's because everybody thinks Firefox is
cool. But I don't give a stuff. I still come across sites that Firefox
hates to render. And I don't subscribe to the theory that just because
something is alternative, it must be better in some way.

IE7 Beta 2

OK, so IE7 has its faults. But it's only on Beta 2. Nobody seems to
mind the short service outages in GMail do they? IE7 handles tabs
superbly, as it does feeds. A bit more customisation here and there
and it'll be the best browser yet. Do I mind that people think I'm too
pro-Microsoft? No. If I was worried about that, I wouldn't have spent
the last three years freelancing for Windows XP: The Official Magazine
now, would I?
