Good, I don't use IE much at all, in fact virtually never but I like to have up to date software. I installed the Beta version ages ago and it broke my Norton Internet Security console, couldn't view or change a thing :cry: had to roll back to 6.

Well, I hope it works since all the XP users will get it as an auto-update next month...

sometimes crashes when I have a few tabs open but not too often, I keep sending back the crash reports every time it happens so hopefully a fix will be made available for this at some point.

Apart from that it works good and I have no issues with it

Edit: I love been able to use the 1 search bar to search on any search engine out there

Firefox 2 has that too, comes with all the obvious ones including ebay and Amazon, and can add any of your own choice.

I think you've been very unlucky with Firefox :( , as I can't remember the last time mine crashed.

Got IE7 installed yesterday.
It looks quite nice, a bit more like Firefox! LOL.

I, for one, am NOT going to click the 'express install' button! 'Custom' and 'no' to 'check box' for IE7 update!

(It's going to say 'critical update' isn't it and bully me into installing!)

Only just noticed I can have multiple home pages come up when I launch IE7 or when I press the home page 8)
