Although I still mainly use firefox, IE7 is easily better then the previous issue. of iE Its tabbed and seems more secure with less problems with malicious software..also I think its faster then FF, the downloads are alot quicker.

Hehe, there will always be security issues with Ie..Won't there.

I might go find it and install it, I have been told that that once installed it can't be uninstalled??

Anything can be uninstalled but it just might be a lot of hassle, and also scary if your not used to playing around with the 'guts' of windows.

could you not just set a system restore point in windows and if you dont like it once you have installed it just go back to your previously saved restore point?

Download speed isn't defined by your browser, it's defined by your connection speed.

Unless you've got some kind of application linked to FF that hogs bandwidth?

I agree with most here though, 7's certainly an improvement over all other IE's, but only because it literally took everything I like about firefox (tabs, minimalistic design etc) and put it into this beta. It's a step in the right direction, even if it IS cheating a bit.

Clever marketting imo, Microsoft has almost always listened to its consumers and crafted it's applications based on what people want. Think of FF in the same way, it is open source and so is the result of what the people want. Microsoft have only consolidated it's feedback and gauged the success of it's competition to come up with IE7.

Tried it, disliked it (the text seems slightly blurred) removed it.

About the text on web sites, I tried all that unicode/western european stuff and it didn't seem to help, so here I am back the the good old IE6 Smile
