Since I have a number of sites that I support using Dotnetnuke, I thought it was a good idea to try out IE7 on them now that it is officially released to the masses.

The install took about 15 minutes with the usual reboot included. I fired up the IE7 via the updated icon on the task bar (a bit of an ugly grey if you ask me) and I was taken to a site that asked that I confirm my settings.

Well, I tried to scroll and click a few things, but the system was a bit sluggish, so I checked out task manager and you guessed, IE was spinning at 100% CPU. Anyone for IE7 SP1...

So, I skipped the saving settings step as I assumed the MS site was swamped with other users installing as well. I guess MS should have bought a few more machines for this!

IE 7 looks nice with the tab interface, but the antiphishing icon looks like it is slowing site downloads down, I am sure it is the site that is slow, but I am sure MS will get flack for this.

I look forward to the serious reviews of IE7 and Firefox 2.0 (coming soon).

Yes this post was the first with IE7!

About Me

Thanks for stopping by. My name is Jim Bonnie and I have been writing software for over 20 years. After building financial data systems for Reuters for nearly 18 years I have started doing contract work and am excited about technology and currently focus on Microsoft solutions. DotNetNuke has helped provide a good introduction to ASP.NET web application development, and I am now starting to branch out into other areas. Data Access techniques and SubSonic is something that I am looking into now. This has helped me get an invitation to speak at Las Vegas at DNN Open Force 07. it was a great time. And I am looking forward to OpenForce08, where I wil be presenting on TDD for DNN.

 

Reading the codebetter blogs and attending a nothing but .net training class with JP Boodhoo helped spark my interest in ALT.NET. I attended the first conference in Austin Texas, and it was amazing to see Scott Guthrie introduce the ASP.NET MVC framework.
