    From major software folks (Microsoft..) do you guys automatically get it when it comes out or do you wait for a while to let them get the bugs out

    Is the IE 7 worth getting?

    its too buggy right now. On one machine it may work great, and on another fuck all kinds of things up. For instance I can run it easily on one of my spare machines at work and do, but at home on a much more powerful computer all sorts of things fuck up when I installed it, and it really doesn't work right either.

    FWIW there's a newer release of IE7 that's just hit the market (Beta 3). I've loaded that and so far it hasn't given me ANY trouble.
