    I personally use Safari (Mac OS X browser) and it rules!! Firefox is a close second, and IE.........bah!

    I downloaded IE so that I could have an internet browser that had Windows Media capabilty, but I threw it in the trash bin 30 minutes later after being fed up.

    I'm pretty sure I read on slashdot that MS will be distributing it through Windows Update. Whether or not it will be included as a critical security update...I'm not sure.

    Firefox's extensions can do pretty much anything.

    I'll probably just download it (if I can) to see how sites work and stuff, since I still have to test on IE6 as sooo many people are still using it. But yeah. Remember its possible to use two browsers at once

    Both Internet Explorer and Firefox are good. So I'll be downloading IE7.

    poor unne, I share your . . . sorrow. My OS isn't supported either, and they're the ones that made it!

    How do they ever plan to get 100% market share like that is beyond me :o

    I already downloaded IE7. Its pretty cool. Almost exactly like Firefox. Except for a bunch of things though. I like it. Firefox is still better though.

    i'm giving up,

    So I'm guessing you use Opera. That's a good browser too.

    The performance tests are skewed because IE components are prefetched while Windows is still loading, so faster startup times and smaller memory footprints are to be expected since they only account for the portions that are loaded once you launch the application through the desktop. I will say that Firefox has gotten a bigger footprint over the last few releases, though. I hope to see some changes with the 2.0 release.
