    Well I think its only good if your used to IE just the same as if folk are used to Fire Fox or Opera basically if you like a browser stick with it no matter how other may react to your personal browser choice, no for me I like the tabs and the same GUI I know all other browsers do this and some better than others but im just used to IEs layout and the way it handles media files, and if anyone wants to say I should use something else that's their perogative but im used to what im used to.

    New fonts? If ClearType's your problem turn it off to see if it makes a difference: click here

    You'll get used to the menu/buttons being in weird places - it takes a little time ;).

    Good things (for me):

    1. Tabbed browsing
    2. Anti-phishing capability built-in (needs to be enabled)
    3. When it's shutdown, gives an option to re-open the sites you visited during your last session:

    Good things 'officially' - click here

    I mainly use Avant, Firefox & Opera. IE7 if the mood takes me :p. G

    Because Firefox get bigged up generally (and IE knocked down), I've been running both IE7 and FF for a few weeks. Much prefer IE7. Like the tabs and general layout. I've never really understood why IE gets so much stick. Perhaps I've just been lucky with my experience of it.
    Apparently I'm 10 years old on MSE. Happy birthday to me...etc

    For me the 'preview' stays when I move the mouse over the entire length of the thread title. Sometimes it does appear, momentarily disappear, then re-appear - doesn't happen very often though. G

    A little something to make it look more like IE6: IE7 Tip for moving Classic Menu to top.

    It worked for me, see screenshot (though I added the value by editing the registry manually).

    Set a restore point before attempting just in case. G
