Internet Explorer 7 wastes hours of productivity and is hands down the worst piece of software we have ever experienced.<br />
When casually browsing the web, IE 7 lockups every other session. <a target="_blank" href="http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/" title="Firefox 2 web browser">Firefox</a> on the otherhand rarely locks up at all. It kinda makes me wonder what is going on over in <a target="_blank" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Redmond,_Washington" title="Who's who in Redmond, WA">Redmond</a>. They produce the operating system, yet they can not produce a stable internet browser. Is this a problem that they are unwilling or unable to fix or perhaps a monopoly designed to hold back competition?</p>
<p align="left">We have tried the new <a target="_blank" href="http://ie7pro.com" title="IE 7 Pro - Internet Explorer Add-On">IE 7 Pro</a> browser add-on, but the only thing it appears to do is catch IE when it falls and while it worked fine for a few days, it too eventually bogged down. This problem has been going on for far too long. <a target="_blank" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_Explorer_8" title="Internet Explorer 8">IE version 8</a> is on the horizon, but reviews of the beta version provides little promise, as does <a target="_blank" href="http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,289431,00.html" title="Windows Vista Problems">Vista</a>.</p>
<p align="left">Symptoms of IE crashes include:<br />
1. Hard drive starts chunking &amp; grinding for several minutes while nothing happens.<br />
2. Task Manager &gt; Applications tab shows &#8220;Internet Explorer Not Responding&#8221;.<br />
3. Entire PC freezes for extended time while it sorts out it&#8217;s own mess.<br />
4. The words <strong>about:blank</strong> appear in the address bar.<br />
5. Utter frustration sets in.</p>
<p>In a world rife with so many other problems, ain&#8217;t it great how one company can make you so incredily unproductive? Let&#8217;s hear how MS IE problems affect your work day.</p>
