Hi,

Can folks who are running Vista and IE7, try typing in this URL in the IE7
address bar to see what happens:

    ie.http://test

On my computer, IE7 goes into a loop opening and closing windows.  I'm
wondering if this is a problem just with my Vista install or something
more.

confirmed here. Running ultimate. it actually seems to work with
any unresolvable host.

ie.http://foo works just as well.

It's actually quite fun trying to get it to stop by only clicking the X
to close the window. :)
