The only ones I know of is that one and this one (which is technically an Outlook Express bug): http://bink.nu/Article8571.bink< |

If I had to complain about one thing with IE7 it would be that you can not move certain portions of the toolbar. Other than that, I think it is quite possibly the best release Microsoft IE has ever had.
which parts ? the only thing you can't move is the addressbar
I don't particularly like where the Home button is. I know that is an issue related back to not being able to modify the location of the address bar, but I find it mildly annoying. Irregardless of that little quirk that I have with it, as a whole it is a great product.< |

Yeah. It's low on the totem pole though, so I didn't post it as nothing to much to worry about. But just realized it was reported in April already. So I guess Microsoft know's about it.< |

| I'm going to install it on my laptop tonight. I'm surprised there is no way to run IE6 and IE7 simultaneously for testing. Correct me if I'm wrong - on that and this - but wasn't that always an option in the past?< |

not as far as I know, each browser version has replaced the last one.< |

Came across this neat little trick awhile ago during the BETA phase which put together the final pieces of how to run multiple IE versions on one machine - I'd forgotten about the .local trick which is available in XP.
1) Download IE7 public beta and unpack the installer. Should work with Final Version as well
2) Rename or delete the shlwapi.dll file in the directory you unpacked the beta to.
3) Create an empty file iexplore.exe.local in the directory you unpacked the beta to.
4) Run IExplore.exe
Tada 
The hows and whys of why this works are explained in great detail here for anyone who's interested in the workings of Windows - http://www.positioniseverything.net/articles/multiIE.html - otherwise, that's all you need to do to get it up and running. Works right back to IE4 apparently.
I take no responsibility with this hack messing up your machine!< |

Well now that takes all the fun out of it. 
Thanks for the tip. I'll have to try it on the same PC I still haven't gotten around to re-formatting.< |

Well, I've just installed IE7 on my laptop (not as a standalone... going to do that on a computer I didn't just finish getting set up). So far I like it. (at leas all my sites don't look any worse in it)
I also have a small qualm with not being able to move the address bar - I've always loved it just above the canvas. At least with FF, darn near everything can be moved to just about anywhere you wanted to move it. There's something the folks at MS should steal. 
I'll probably drop Maxthon now, since the main reason I was using it was for tabbed IE browsing. ('course, now there's also the IETab plugin for FF too) Now I wish my computer at work was running XP so I could install it there...< |

| I guess I should also add that since I installed IE7, the colors on the .png desktop wallpaper I use are off...< |

That could be it - I've run it "out of the box" with no changes. Also, it's running on a test machine that is slightly underpowered. Thanks, HuwR - I'm wanting to upgrade for the increased security and better CSS support, and that helps to convince me.< |

Ah, no; just installed it on my main machine - it doesn't let WindowBlinds skin it
