Well I used it for a few hours last night....It is quicker and has some nice features....

I don't like how it looks --> too plain

There is a nice button/tab @ the top, when you click it you get a new tab open......would be nice if firefox had this instead of having to CTRL+TAB

There is some nice security features added.....but I'll stick with firefox myself too.........

Nice try M$ --> could do more!

I've tried it a bit. It is pretty buggy, esp. if you have a major php application like Gallery. In Gallery, I could not upload pictures because of rendering issues with the upload form.

Firefox handled it perfectly.

Other than that, I think the looks and functionality mirror that of the Firefox/Opera tabbed browsing layout. IE7 is a copycat.

Let's face it, when it comes to web browsers, Microsoft is playing catch-up with its competition and IE7 is a prime example of it. So if you want to stay up-to-date with security and functionality, Firefox is the way to go!
