The implementation of tabbed browsing in IE7 was terrible (tabs take forever to open and I'd swear from performance that there are memory leaks going on all over in this application).
Microsoft passed out an update this week or so.
Now, IE-7 takes up 24.6+18.4=43 MB, tucked away in the system folder, not the program folder.
There is another 22.2 MB that's probably related in the "hot-fix migration" directory (C:\WINDOWS\$hf_mig$\KB939653-IE7), for a whopping 65MB, just to accommodate IE-7.
That's double to triple Firefox and Netscape.
With such abandon, it appears that Microsoft is just a gaming company now or something.
I have complaints about iTunes, too. I've had to stop updating.
I like to put the programs where I want them. Apple used to allow you to download Quicktime and iTunes separately, in order to facilitate this during install. Now Apple forces you to take them both at once and it installs Quicktime where it wants (on last check), even though it gives you a choice on iTunes.
Was someone saying that consumers have choice? pffile

Internet Explorer 7 - First Just Bad, Now Hog
