geekchickLord help me. I've just installed the IE 7 beta. And I don't entirely hate it yet.
Good:
Tabbed browsing. Smaller toolbar. Integrated search in the toolbar. (Sounding a lot like Firefox so far.) Integrated RSS reader. So far I haven't run into any Javascript or CSS that is blatantly broken; some of it seems even marginally less broken than in IE 6.
Bad:
The menu bar layout is odd: "back" and "forward" are round buttons to the left of the address bar, "refresh" and "stop" are in a completely different style and to the right of the address bar. The "open new tab" icon is not obvious until you happen to mouse over what looks like the stub of an empty tab, which makes the icon appear; not terribly intuitive I think.
I'm not going to give up Firefox no matter what, I loves me my extensions too much. As much as I hate to admit it though, IE 7 might turn out to be reasonably okay. Tabbed browsing makes me overlook some more minor faults, I think. [Edit: Except for the part where after running it for an hour with other applications open, my system is screaming at me to shut it down for $deity's sake and reboot please.]
