It appears that the final release of IE7 is out. Yahoo seems to be
distributing it!

http://downloads.yahoo.com/internetexplorer/index.php

I always thought that the official download would be on 01/11/2006 (1st
Nov 2006) but we should get it early next week through auto-update!

Heh. Have you installed it yet? Any problems?

See microsoft.public.internetexplorer.general for others' experiences.
I'm waiting until the bugs are ironed out.

Not yet. I tried to download the full version to install it on my test
machine using:

"C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents\IE7-WindowsXP-x86-enu"
/c:"ie7wzd.exe /d /s:""#E"

but it didn't work. Unless the downloaded file (15157 kb from Ms site)
is a full version.

I am like you as well. I would like to try on a test machine before I
roll it out to enterprise wide.

I have been using IE7 since Beta 3 and I have installed IE7 final on three
computers today with no problems.

Downloaded and installed OK here from Microsoft,
and it blended right in with Windows One Care.
I'm using Windows Home Edition.
 
I installed the IE7 today. Look and feel like Firefox with tabstrips. Then I
tried to open An Access file locted on a shared folder in a LAN pc. I get
the error - "the publisher is unknown... do you want to open file? I click
yes and then I get "This file is outside your intranet or trusted zone; copy
the file to your; can not open file." I don't want to copy file since it is
also accessed by other users. Now I can't open that Access (MDB) file (and
any other MDB files located on the LAN) from my pc. I figure IE7 security
blah blah has some thing to do with this. Now I hate myself for not waiting
as usual, until the bugs are squashed.

I installed it yesterday - no problems at all except the well-documented
bottleneck on the first run page! Why on EARTH someone at MS decided that
each and every install of IE7 Final needed to access a web page on an MS
server, I shall never know!

Agreed: That's also the Yahoo version of the browser, meaning it's been
bastardized for Yahoo's purposes. I just visited the Windows Update and I
see nothing there about it yet - so I'm wondering if the Yahoo pitch isn't
the old BETA version.

It'd bad enough it's new, but to be the Yahoo version on top of it, well ...

Your choice, of course, but in my view the guinea pigs were the ones who ran
the beta versions. Over and above that, there's another issue in this
particular case: since there are a number of security improvements in IE7,
you increase your exposure by running an older version instead.

Better yet,
I'm seriously thinking about switching over to Firefox.

Again, that's your choice.
