    Well i though i'd download IE7 this week, believing the words that microsoft spoke on their website. I should have learned by now not believe anything.
    IE7 was anything but faster and easier to use, web page load up was so slow, and kept timing out, must be them phishing filters.
    So i've reverted back to IE6.

    The speed has once again returned to my pc. ahhhhh!! :D

    I need to work with IE7 on college. But it's difficult to use. Once it took me 20 minutes to add a page to favorites, because I coulnd't find the button anywhere :)

    As much as I don't like Internet Explorer, there is no denying that Internet Explorer 7 is far superior to version 6, if only for tabbed browsing and integrated search.

    It has some *horrible* UI quirks though, and its nagging is incessant. Comparing IE6 and IE7 is like comparing Turd 1.0 and Turd 2.0 - now with 200% more corn!

    I seriously doubt that we would have ever seen the like of IE7 were it not for Mozilla producing a better browser.

    I see IE7 as simply Microsoft's frail attempt to compete.

    tabbed browsing has (i presume) always being a feature of FF, but, IE7 also uses a crap phishing filter, which allows it to browse on blacklisted / fake sites, however, i'm surprised to see IE7 has an integrated RSS feed reader, as far as i can see IE8 will be the most secure version of IE

    BTW: according to some reports (like the one i'm reading) IE8 will be no more than an update to IE7 (not a rewrite, as suggested) but, if i used Windoze, i'd use FF, but, i'm forced to admit that IE7 is better than IE6 & IE8 will be even better than IE7[ot]donkey hits himself HARD, because M$ seem to be heading in the right direction for a change[/ot]
    now thats funny

    Why use any IE at all,With Firefox or Kmeleon, thats all I need. Kmeleon is real fast and it works real good.

    Pretty much, seems like everyone is catching on to Firefox and using it now. Used to be just the savvy of us that used it..
