A Question of Installation

October 30, 2006 by Rob Garrett

Makes me wonder what core DLLs IE is replacing in my system.

You are lucky. I am running Vista RC2 and IE no longer even starts up on my machine.

Clearly, IE7 is doing a more thorough job.

Yeah, a “thorough job” of rewriting half of my operating system by the looks of it.
