Re: IE7 on SBS

A third option is to install Firefox together with the brilliant "IE Tab"
extension. This enables you to use Firefox but quickly change rendering
engine when you encounter a non-standard web page. That's how I'm writing
this at the moment, which is probly why thur's lods of speling mistukes.

I do use FF on my workstation with IE Tab extension. My only concern is
when accessing a SSL site (like RWW) and I double click the little lock icon
in the status bar, a dialog box pops up that has the security tab chosen and
this message:

Connection Not Encrypted

The web site ietab does not support encryption for the page you are viewing.
Information sent over the Internet without encryption can be seen by other
people while it is in transit.

For this reason I keep a copy of IE on my laptop, so when I am out of the
office and connecting back for work I know (hope) it is encrypted. Other
than that I find FF far superior to IE7 or 6 . . .

As a preference I'd install Firefox, which is a superior browser in all
ways:
the new spellchecker on webforms is a killer. Of course, that breaks all
the
non-standard Sharepoint stuff in Companyweb. Given that, the security
improvements and phish filter in IE7 imo make it far preferable to IE6 and
no, I haven't had any problems with IE7.

I was wondering what the majority of everyone is doing.
Are you installing IE7 on your Small Business Server with Windows
Updates?

I am trying it out on my server (even though I very rarely use IE from my
server nor my clients) and so far I haven't seen any issues. I always try
updates on my own SBS before any of my clients. :-)
