Stable IE back with me..... Hopefully!!! :)

For almost 8-10 months now, I have been suffering having a very very irritating, unstable IE ( IE 7.0)as the default browser. I cant change the default browser settings as some 'Intra-net' sites open only in IE , and they cant be opened thro Firefox as the sites are allowed to accept connections only from IE.

So, as I had used Mozilla extensively, i had got the taste of Tab-browsing and didnt want to use different windows now, So, i upgraded from IE 6.0 to 7.0. I found that all Intra-net sites are opening without any problems at all. But the joy was short-lived :(

Within a few days IE 7.0, started showing signs for what it is very famous for ... CRASHes!!!
That led me to use only IE for very very important intranet links and for all other intranet links - IGNORE them :)

But, few days back i thought, Ok, let me try to revert back to 6.0 and see, as 6.0 is supported from the application support facility inside the company. So, here i went and un-installed 7.0 and got 6.0 back.

Till now 6.0 hasn't shown any issues, its much faster, more stable and above all .. RELIABLE!!!

So, my lifes going on fine with 2 good browsers, Firefox 2.0.0.14 and IE 6.0. I have Opera as well, but somehow dont find it as good and fast as Firefox.

Found that there are few more browsers like Flock and Maxthon thro my friends. Have gone ahead and downloaded them, not yet installed. Lets see how long all there browsers stay put up in my lappie.
