The new layout of the various toolbar buttons were quite neat too.<\/p>\n<p>Minor grouse: The new font display looks weird and it has also affected my MS Outlook font appearance. Not so big issue but it looks odd. I wonder if they are using the readable type fonts? Actually the readable font is not so readable. It just looks weird. <!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Major grouse: Now the my big downside, just found out that my McAfee Viruscan version 9 couldn&#8217;t function at all. I realised it was a problem when the auto updater just hangs there, and I couldn&#8217;t shut down my PC unless I use the Window Task Manager to close the McAfee running application or process thread.<\/p>\n<p>Checking the <a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.msdn.com\/ie\/archive\/2006\/01\/31\/521344.aspx\">IE MSDN blog<\/a> I found a comment. It seems McAfee Viruscan 8, 9 and 10 uses Active X and somehow installing IE7 has altered fundamentally how the Active X should be used. There is no comment on the McAfee page, so I guess the McAfee guys haven&#8217;t come around to fixing it yet.<\/p>\n<p>This is just bad. Because not only can I not get the latest anti-virus pattern update, I can&#8217;t even uninstall or reinstall the anti-virus.<\/p>\n<p>I think I will have to somehow revert back to IE6 and wait till IE7 becomes stable and hopefully the McAfee guys also come out with a solution for Viruscan to have compatibality with IE7 as well.<\/p>\n<p>Now I just need to figure out how to revert back to IE6&#8230; (sigh!)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When Microsoft released the Internet Explorer 7 beta 2 preview, I thought why not give it try.
