Is Internet Explorer 7 Explorer Too Locked Down for You?
Published January 21st, 2007 in All Categories, Internet Explorer 7, Security
A store owner in a bad neighborhood must balance safety against commerce. Too many locks and 
bars will keep away customers with the crooks. Based on Microsoft Watch reader feedback, Internet Explorer 7 sacrifices too much usability in the interest of safety. I asked for reader response on Tuesday after observing an anomaly among Microsoft Watch comments. Post "Microsoft Internet Explorer 7.0 Details Begin to Leak," from March 15, 2005, had generated more than 300 comments, many of them quite recently.
Since the start of 2007, about 40 new comments appended the post, many from people frustrated by IE 7 and looking for a way back to Internet Explorer 6. Reader e-mail or comment responses largely fall into two camps: No problems with IE 7, or a whole lot of them.
