They updated the links at Neowin and now you don't have to worry about Yahoo install. It works great. I'm not sure about switching from FF to IE7 as I love my FF. The UI is the biggest problem with IE. Its all over the place and have to move the mouse too much to get to things (even though I use mouse gestures so don't really need the back/forward buttons.

I'll be comparing speeds and display shortly.

One interesting note is I am using the Halloween WB and in FF (using default skin) the text on the status bar isn't visible (its black against nearly black), however with IE it shows up orange. So seems like WB doesn't play nice with FF, though usually I hadn't had an issue with skins with it.

I had been using and loving FF for over a year. I tried the beta IE7 and hated it. Buggy, hard to use, you know. I uninstalled it pretty quickly. After some hesitation I tried IE7 RC1. I was pleasantly surprised. It has been stable and surprisingly easy to use. I have been impressed so far, I haven't tried the final release yet, but I am confident that it will be great. Although sometimes I feel like a traitor when I don't use Firefox.

Firefox or OPERA ,

I diden't use IE for a looooooooooong time.
Since you can update Windows with firefox, I guess I won't update to IE7 (I don't need it either.)

IE7 is positively the owrst browser ever.
It keeps crashing my system and slowing it down. I have uninstalled it forever.
Avant browser is the best out there.

Avant is IE

You must have some other system issue for IE7 to cause that many issues.

f the link above has the new IE7 it'll be installed shortly after downloading it,been using IE7

I can this be, really, I know that microsoft is sometime weird in their actions, but I actually believe after using it a bit that IE7 is actually pretty good. Microsoft are not dumb, they know that Firefox and Opera is gaining a little on them, but they still have 80% of the market.

the browser is only a little piece of software compare to gigs of information. If you had to reformat your HD after installing IE7, you probably had a major problem before and the install just brought it over the edge. Nothing to do with the browser itself. Same thing with crashing a system. Following this train of thoughts, WindowBlinds is probably the worst piece of software ever, it slows down my computer.

Alot of these comments come from people that hate Microsoft for the sake of hating Microsoft, they actually have no real reasons. hating Microsoft is trendy, hating windows is trendy therefore, IE7 is the worst browser ever.
Wake up folks, try it seriously. I'm sticking to Firefox, but IE7 is a great piece of software, cuddos to the dev team for learning from others and not being afraid to say that they did crap before.

Used IE7 from first beta....not impressed at first, but with each release it got better....RC1 was great, Gold is awesome. Fast loading, faster loading of pages, no page incompatability issues. Uninstalled FF2RC3 last night.

I pretty much hate the toolbar layout and the fact that I can't re-position them...

it never wants to install for me

I think This Issue needs to be addressed. I also think that the tabs need to meed to be customizable.
Other than that I see nothing wrong with it.
I have had no issues with stability.

IE 7 worked great for me but I have to agree with everybody else in that I don't like the toolbar lay out and not being able to set things up especially now that I am starting to make toolbar icons . I was also able to uninstall and when I opened up the net IE 6 was in use, I didn't have to do anything but reboot twice

This is strange,I clicked on the link & my Avast anti-virus came up with a warning that a virus had been found, it says it is VBS:Zulu.
Here is a link to a print-screen

I had stability issues with the IE7 betas (constant 'IE needs to close' errors), but the full release has been running very well all day and I'm happy with its performance. Okay, it might'nt be as customizable as earlier versions, FF and other browsers, but I like the fact it takes up less screen real estate that its predecessors and devotes more to web pages. I still like using FF, but IE7 most definitely will get more use than IE6 ever did.

Man I hate it when someone posts a screenshot and end up having to scroll horizontally to read posts. Either images need to automatically re-size or have links created for them. True I have a smaller display than I'd like, but certainly in this case it didn't need to be so huge.

It wasn't done on purpose, Man!
It was done quickly in case there was security issue.

I do apologise for the inconveniance but I just wanted to get the image up quickly in case it helped others & forgot to check size.
