Im using it now, its great............well not really, but it lets me access the internet, which is all that matters to me. Unlike you lot who want every feature thinkable.

I'm addicted to tabbing in Firefox, so no, I have not.
Internet Explorer has tabbed browsing O.o.
IE has nothing on <a href="http://w3m.sourceforge.net/FAQ">w3m</a>.
I do all of my personal browsing in Firefox, but I have to use IE for work. Firefox doesn't play nice with a lot of Javascript stuff, plus a lot of the Flash stuff we've got, and when you mix the two it starts getting really ugly. It's a big step forward from IE6, and an adequate alternative to Firefox, but not completely up to snuff.
Besides, I was more disappointed by Firefox 2 - it wasn't much of a step up from v1. Mostly just a strategic move on their part to counter/ride IE's wave.
My parents' computer has both Firefox 2 and IE7. They're both alright, and IE7 is certainly a step up from IE6. However, I still prefer using Firefox to using IE. If there's something Firefox can't do, I just use the "View in IE" extension.

I fail to think of any features more important than tabbed browsing. However I've got and am used to Firefox, so I'm not going to bother with a new IE.Originally Posted by KoShiatar
Took me three days to find that (maybe i'm just stupid). I'm getting used to it now though, its ok.
My personal take:
IE7 is definitely better than IE6, but no, it still cannot compete with FireFox.
why would I even bother with it when I have my perfectly good Firefox.
The main issue that I see with the Firefox mindset is that it's the old Internet Explorer mindset. Why would I check out a little open source project like Firefox when I'm perfectly fine with my Internet Explorer? I say give it a shot then make a decision, because there are those that blindly follow FF just like they did IE.
Though, like I said, I still prefer Firefox.
IE7 makes me realize I need to uninstall Firefox and switch to Opera.
IE6 computer unsavvy users (the ones who don't use firefox for example) seem to not like it because its' different.
I'm thinking that's pretty much why they don't use firefox. it's different.
I have used it fleetingly on my mom's laptop (the only machine with sp2 in this household) and it does seem to render slightly better than ie6. But just slightly.
I tried it. Not that good. <strike>Firefox</strike> Opera is better though.
IE does not work well on my laptop, basically I more or less have to wait for the home page to load before I can do anything, if not then it has a fit sometimes, not so much IE7, but IE6 did.
