I think that given the stage that IE7 is in its almost acceptable - why? Hear me out - it's in RC, release candidate meaning not the full shbang bug free version - when you are at such stages of developing software, its almost or near perfect but not exactly. Same with Vista and Office 2007, the 2 major upcoming products, there are still a few bugs, even security issues but working towards them. Same thing for your own software, you may have a good few bugs or other issues which you may or may not be aware of....

There will be a patch no doubt, just be patient :-) You also have to realize that there are many people out there who just like to ruin it and just waste time hacking and what not, which is silly. Just help one another, stop the whole feud and come as one but sadly, it never happens - jeleousy.

It's the final version, not RC, i think that was released today.

oh really? wow...let's have a look :-) Still however, I stand by my opinion ;-) You can't expect everything to be bang on target and it doesn't help when people constantly criticise and dont help, it's like a record playing over and over and over and over....

Yes, it's is true. I think that is more important the time between this error and the patche that fix it that Microsft will publish (when? tic tac tic tac...).

I guess it depends on the severeness and depending on it it may be put up on Windows Update as a download as a security patch. It can be anything from 2 days to 1 month maybe. Again, depends how severe it is from the Microsoft POV I think
