That said, you might find my own experiences installing IE7 interesting.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The quick hits:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>As you install IE7 on WinXP (sp2) you will find that IE7 (for unknown reasons) needs to install all kinds of other crap.<\/li>\n<li>Once IE7 is installed, it will have done you the favor of wiping out all your Dreamweaver FTP settings. Thanks Microsoft.<\/li>\n<li>IE7 does not render web pages like IE6 or FireFox. I guess Microsoft figured that another &#8216;standard&#8217; was in order?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Years ago, I jumped away from the Microsoft camp (ASP and ASP.net, MS SQL) because of M$&#8217;s need to tie you into everything they had (their entire stack) by creating (encumbering) interdependencies between their operating system and all their applications.  <\/p>\n<p>&#8230; To do anything beyond the very basics, you need to have all kinds of M$ products installed. It is rather vexing.<\/p>\n<p><strong>IE7 CONTINUES THE PROUD TRADITION<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>So these many years later, I install IE7 because I have to test my new web applications.
