I'll second that notion. IE7 has been so much trouble we've banned it at
work. That's over 500 machines that aren't getting it. Seems MS must
know it's a problem, also, as there's even a MS-provided means to remove
it and fall back to IE6 if one checks the "Add/Remove Programs" section
of the control panel. One can pretty safely ignore all the dire warnings
about things that "may not work properly after uninstalling IE7".
After removing IE7, make a trip to the MS Update site and mark IE7 to
never be offered again, or you may get it right back "on automatic"...
And then check for missed--and much more needed--updates that seem to
often get masked by IE7 installation. We've found as many as a dozen, on
occasion.
