Reply #5: The button arrangement is a bit haphazard. [View All]

With IE6, I was able to compact all the control buttons and the URL window into a single line at the top of the page, making the browser as small as possible. This let me see more of the web pages I was reading; particularly important on the small screen of my tiny Vaio notebook. It now takes a lot of tweaking to get a similar result, and it still takes two lines to get the same functionality.

It was buggy to install using the automatic download service, and refused to work until I downloaded a fresh 'stand-alone' copy and reinstalled it.

It still seems buggy in general, with an annoying tendency to seize-up my PC from time to time. It also crashes the 'FormsParkingWindow' app every time, so that I have to manually end that task before my machine will shut down.

No doubt, all these bugs are rectifiable, but I haven't had time to go digging around Microsoft's Knowledge Base to find the solutions.

I'm also a bit concerned about the browser's security, but that's more of a concern about Windows in general than IE7 in particular. When I want to do secure work (such as online banking or bill-paying) I use Camino on my Mac.
