If you read my post correctly you'll find I don't use IE7

Where does it say that then?

In his second post:

"I'm just thinking maybe you need more info :)

It is IE6.0xxx & XP pro SP2 running from a E6600 CPU. "

OK. That post wasn't on my news server when I sent that; it actually appears
for me now as the OP's third post...

Perhaps you should be asking yourself the question is Windows secure
and bug
free enough to use...


I've been using Windows long enough to realise it is a very stable
system.

I'm afraid that's an oxymoron.

No it isn't, but yours is a cliche.

HTH

If you haven't realised that Windows is not
very stable, then you *haven't* been using it long enough.

I have been using windows for a very long time, and it's stable.

Me too. It isn't.

I'm having some difficulties accessing my account on a financial website.
Before I reported the problem, I decided to fire up a Windows box and try
from there. (If I hadn't, the support people would have told me that they
only support Windows.)

Before I could get to login, IE7 crashed...

And I use
it for much more than just the internet.

Yep, me too. Since 3.1. At home and at work. Extensively.

Oh, and if it's very stable, why are you having to ask about a problem
you are having with it :-)

Having a single problem with a thing by no means indicates instability.

Doesn't equal stable either, does it?


XP with SP2 is bearable, but it is *not* very stable.

Yes, it is.

Oh no it isn't...

<snip linux fanboy stuff>

<Yawn>

I'm not particularly a "fan" of any OS. I'll use what works best. I've spent
a lot of time finding that out...
