Lemme tell you how much I love the new Inteweb Exploder

This piece of shit locks up every 20 minutes. I'm not sure if it's the program itself, or if it has some issue talking to the proxy, but it's very annoying. The old exploder might not have had tabbed browsing, but at least it worked.

Anyone else in a corporate network having issues like this?

I haven't had those sort of issues with IE7.

Nothing like that, but I do have one shitty issue that I am working on right now:

1) Due to security vulnerabilities in Excel, IE 7 suppresses save dialog for files with .csv extensions from JavaScript.

2) Our file download feature depends on that insecure feature (creating and saving a csv file in JavaScript).

3) Some IE 7 intstalls appear immune to this bug, and can save/open .csv files from WebForms4 in Excel.

We tried changing the extension to .txt but long story short - that didn't work either. So basically for some small silly change in IE7 we have to completely re develop how a part of our service works..

I could be totally off base, but it just seems like a lot of this "better security" actually ends up creating more frustration for people than it helps.

I haven't really had any problems with IE7, but I only use it when I have to.
My standard procedure is running Firefox through a socks capture program to get around the company firewall, so I use IE for the internal websites.
IE7 is pretty good, but it's still crap compared to Firefox when you're doing any sort of web development. IE gives the worst most ambiguous error messages that serve only to make troubleshooting problems harder. Firefox and Firebug have allowed me to determine the root cause of issues almost instantly and definitely speeds up development.

I haven't seen that issue with IE7 at home, and we have IE6 at work.

No issues here with IE7 on the rare occasion I have to use it.

IE made a version 7? Haven't they all switched to Firefox by now?
