I've been using the beta version. It has improved for sure. The anti phishing thingy is pretty kewl.

Perhaps I'm wrong, but when I last tried it, it said I had to have Win2003.

The best part of my experience with IE 7 was when I removed it.

What a piece of work. You can't customize the toolbars and it's still loaded with bugs. Maybe someone at Microsoft can explain to us why we need a useless address bar that extends across the entire screen and can't be removed lol. I'll stick with Firefox.
To: 31M20RedDevil
Ta-ta Explorer. Same here, I'll stay with Firefox and only use IE 6 when it's absolutely necessary, like visiting the Windows Update site to get their latest patches that patch their previous patches. :)

Thats what did it for me,after I got it back for mom
it hung up again on this new update.
Had to uninstall to get back to 6 to get the Critical Update today. Like you I`ll use it solely for the updates that are essential.
I`m partial to Opera tho
Firefox is excellent of course.
