Ive heard good things about it actually. Is it still tied to the OS like a Siamese twin? Thats why Ive disabled it on any XP installs the past few years.

I was under the impression we were all going to be getting it like it or lump it (assuming you have automatic updates) - i.e MS are going to call it a critical security update (which it may well be) and push it automatically over auto-update.

It says mine is legal too but I much prefer something that isnt so closely welded to the OS. Windoze uses it as the windows explorer as well as the Internet Explorer. FireFox FTW!

running quite happy now, just getting used to the address bad being above the menu bad :O
pretty nippy, but I cant really notice the difference over IE6, might notice it more on a slower system :)
running IE7 makes no changes to the way all theother windows etc.. allthough there pretty close, "internet explorer" and "explorer" run as two seperate entities in xp :)

glad to see theyve finally realised what the rest of us have known for several years
tabbed browsing FTW
I see no actual reason to install it though, since I already have all the new features in Opera and Firefox (deppending upon my mood and how W3C compliant the website is, I use both).

Loads of my customers dont like it. Some sites dont work with it and built in some multimedia features on keyboards, like the "open web" button that some use.
I just think it caused more problems for some people than it made their web browsing easier and quicker.

Works fine with every site Ive needed to access on it. Only downside... they appear to have removed the damn "stop" button, so when errant mouse clicks result in you going to a popup hell, you have to wait for it to load, then click back, and close the subsequent popup hell.

lol got shown this today whilst at an office party. We were debating the need for IE7.
First mentioned that there was no refresh button...
that got pointed out to me.
then bitched about the lack of a stop button...
that too got pointed out to me, next to the damn refresh button.
Doh!
