Download ie7 final from Microsoft!

[Drewbert]

One would have to assume that all the hard work for internationalising IE7 would have been done for the RC1 relase, so applying those updates to the final release should be a fairly simple matter, and the other versions should appear pretty darn quickly.

It looks as though the first batch is going to coincide with Auto Updates. It looks as though they are going to 55 languages in all including importantly all the Indian languages and Azeri, but those will take a little longer. Arabic and Japanese are in the first wave.

Never assume because it makes.....

What a nightmare.

And to think people can buy OSX, then just switch it to whatever language they want and Safari works.

Sigh.

3 more weeks before we'll see any real action.

Well, Chinese IE7 doesn't sound like it's going to surface until November or December, so at least Dopa have got some time to get their shit together, and not incur the wrath of a bunch of people who are suddenly missing out on serious wallet rather than the peanuts we're getting currently.

WSJ is out with it's IE7 review. No mention of IDNs. Just shows that maybe only a few hundred people are in the know and control 50% of the future IDN type-in traffic. I emailed the journalist, but have little hope.

BBC never picked up on the launch at all.

If the release was suppose to be the culmination of some massive marketing exercise then I think we have all been underwhelmed.

Lets home they are a bit more successful with Vista, otherwise Microsoft is f*cked!

yes, just another example of a narrow minded westerner who can't see any further than his own backyard.

Let's just hope that when this is reported locally, they make a fuss about getting IDN functionality

WSJ's target audience have no use for IDN's.

Let's wait and see what the Asian financial publications say about it.

True, but I expected them to be more deep in their review and at least mention it.
