Is IE7 Really that Bad?

Derek Torres are co-authors of I did a Google search the other day for "Tabbed browsing may well be a sign that Microsoft is playing catch-up with Firefox (just like much in the new version of Windows Media Player is playing catch-up with iTunes), but that doesn't make it any less welcome.
Protected Mode (Vista only), the HTTPS enhancements are all examples of how the Microsoft philosophy now seems to be "secure by default", rather than putting the onus on the user to make the "right" security decision.
IE7's improved CSS, DOM and HTML support, while it may not be the full standards compliance many have been demanding, does at least sort out some of the biggest bugs. In the short term, this may create problems with sites that make extensive use of hacks to get around shortcomings in previous versions of Internet Explorer, but that's something for the developers of those sites to sort out, not a problem with IE7 itself. Don't criticise Microsoft for starting to do things right. In summary, IE7 is far from perfect, but it is the first decent browser from Microsoft in a long time and we should recognise it as such. They're on the right track at last.
