I think the spell checker in Firefox is certainly the killer app for anyone who uses forums etc.
 
I haven't installed the firefox one since I'm still a die hard IE user. But I have to say, ieSpell is better than MS Office I think. It offers suggestions when Office has no ideas.
 
But yes... these spell checkers are a must have for people who use forums.

But the thing that beats IEspell in Firefox, is that Firefox's spell checker will underline misspelled words in red as you type. It even does this in the RTE.

Whats really annoying about the clear type setting is that it uses a seperate switch to windows, So even if you have it turned off in windows it may still e on in IE7 and vice versa
Handyman man?

Thats just stupid, in IE7 they should have linked it in to the Windows system so that there is one switch for both.

I'm going to have to depart from the crowd on ClearType. I think it's a good thing to have it optional like it is in IE7.
 
If you use ClearType, you should have noticed that in some applications it causes color distortion and blurring at times. So while I may not want it in general, with IE it works quite well, and the option to turn it on is very nice.
 
If anyone wants an example of ClearType blurring, let me know and I'll post a screen shot.
