Hah! work network full of hiccups today, intranet logins sporadically
not working, and the Windows people had to reboot their machines
because they could not figure out how to get IE to behave in that
environment. No idea. Those that had IE7 have gone back to IE6
(Japanese users, we all heard about how alpha the local version was).
So I think there should be a new name for IE: IED.
