Joris Evers of Tech Republic reports, has a good report on IE7′s first day in his article Minor issues surface after IE 7 launch.
Events for the initial day of IE7 included:
- a reported security flaw (Microsoft said — that’s ok, it an Outlook Express bug that we might fix later, not an IE7 bug).web sites that did not work properly with IE7 (duh!),
- a false positive that the MS download page was passing a virus (MS said the AVAST report of VBS:ZULU was false)
- and crumpling of Microsoft’s download servers due to high demand.
None of those are big surprises, except that I’d think Microsoft would use Linux-based servers for large download sites <grin>.
