IE7 trial

I wrote a blog entry here in IE7. But then it crashed, and it disappeared. So this is the short version.

I'm not entirely convinced. I quite like it - but it's really not winning me over just yet. And besides, I really want stuff I write to be compatible with Firefox as well as IE. Typically in my Microsoft world, things are more easily correct in IE. So therefore, having my default browser as Firefox helps me get it right across the board.

It's definitely worth downloading and playing with. Just don't type anything critical into it yet.
