I am impressed: one CANNOT install different versoins of IE on MSWindows?
And installing the IE7Beta_something, hide the "official" IE6 version?

I have FireFox, mozilla, seamonkey on Solaris, SLES9, Fedora, RH4, OS-X and even on my $399.99 XP PC and I can use any of them. I also always keep the prev release and I can use any one of them I wish.

I am wondering why it is SO HARD to do something AS SIMPLE as having multiple versions of an application with MS windows? It is JUST a browser nothing really special. Just a graphical Internet application. I can see how MS users consider these unnecessarily restricted environments as "normal", since people in under-developed countries also consider malaria and dysenteria something as "normal" fact of life.


IE6 STILL does not have ... TABs? It's been SIX yers since it came out and it still uses all the same "fine" features of the 90's. MS is lazy.
