There is yet another issue concerning IE7 that I have not seen
mentioned yet. There are several browsers around that are slight to
extensive modifications of IE6. Some that come to mind are MSN9, some
AOL, SBC/Yahoo DSL, MyIE2, etc. Some of these modify an installed IE6.
Now what is going to happen if one uses one of these browsers and adds
IE7 is not clear to me. Unless Microsoft has done extensive research on
just how all of these related browsers modify IE6, then there could
well be problems if one adds IE7 and deletes IE6 or not. For instance I
use my ISP SBC/Yahoo DSL browser only for things needed for the ISP
service and Windows updates - otherwise I use Firefox and Opera mostly.
I am not about to add IE7 until SBC/Yahoo state that their browser will
continue to work if I do so.
