Instead of one-click printing now, our clients have to use the menu and go into the dialog box to select 100% size. Our pages are properly styled (via CSS) to wrap print w/o cut off at 100%. IE7 does shrink to fit and you need a magnifying glass to read. You cannot right click and print an iframe without selecting everything in it. Then you still need to go into preview and choose your scale. You cannot set the scaling to 100% in javascript (only a registry hack) before calling window.print(). I have frustrated customers and wasted thousands of dollars researching a work around (none found yet). Microsoft calls this a feature? If this is how Microsoft thinks they are improving usablity they are seriously mistaken. I beg to differ – “shrink to fit” is a nightmare.

And I don't want to! But the fact of the matter is that FireFox is NOT faster than Internet Explorer, and as I said, I really wish it were, becuase I'd love more than anything to stop using any Microsoft/Windows products, so I'm always on the lookout. I've got IE6, and have now had Firefox 2.0.0.12 for about two weeks. IE6 continues to load pages faster for me than does Firefox, though I've noticed that Firefox has improved steadily over time, so I think the day will come. People can hem and haw and all of that, claiming I must be doing something wrong, but this is simply my experience. I completely disagree. And I don’t want to!
