For me, problems began after installing a WindowsUpdate from Microsoft. It may have coincided with an update from Google, though.
If diving into a conspiracy theory, I would prefer this one: Microsoft has recently entered the marketplace where Google dominates; online content and applications. They have a history for competitive exclusion (4dos, Netscape, some trial in EU in 2004 which I can't recall), so why not subtly change the implementation of scripting, for example, to be incompatible with Google's plugins. That could be what they've done by pure accident too, of course, but accidents are not half as elating to imagine, are they? :-) Jostein 2008/2/28, Mark Roberts <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > AlunFoto wrote: > > I like IE7. > > Never seen any of those "clusterphuck" issues you mention, whatever > > that word means... :-) > > > > Besides, nobody knows if this current issue is introduced by Google or > > by Microsoft.
