I jumped on the new IE7 Beta when it first came out with few problems but lately, have been having significant issues with it and as a result haven’t used it for a while, instead turning to Opera and Firefox. While a long time user and fan of Firefox, I have very quickly become a fan of Opera (a browser I hadn’t used before). Today we interviewed Jon S. von Tetzchner, CEO of Opera and I came away from it a bigger fan. Even with talks about Business Plans and Partners the message we got was clear, they’re all about making the best browser in the marketplace. Keep a geek eye out for it in the next episode of Best Damn Tech Show, Period.

In the meantime, it seems that Microsoft will be rolling out the next Beta (number 2 I believe) for IE7 on Tuesday which will apparently fix these issues. Many are none too excited about IE at all.
