I downloaded the Internet Explorer 7 public beta this week and installed it on a couple of my Windows XP machines. Here's the short review: IE7 is a superb piece of software. If Mozilla hadn't caught Microsoft sitting complacently on its corporate butt, Firefox would [may] never have had a chance against this product.

Even so, Firefox still has one advantage, achieved with the help of its high profile and market momentum during the past 15 months, that will keep Internet Explorer stuck on the B-team.

If it is all about features and the latest goodies and not about Freedom and sustainable software usage, you are not an asset to the Freedom movement, but a liability. An "ally" who drops the "obligations" under "treaty" is worse than an outright aggressor. We don't need an enemy within.

If the improvements in IE7 are enough for you to forsake your Freedom, you have no place in the community. (Well, maybe as an untrustworthy fringe lurker.)
r_a_. - get a grip, look at the site. It's Windows centric (and my guess he plans to stay that way). His view and purpose are quite transparent, so his play is aimed at the easily swayed. It's an opinion with an obvious bias.
