Have you tried IE7? I have not downloaded it since I'm addicted to my Firefox 1.5 but I was told that it's really a nice piece of software, even faster and more efficient than Firefox... what are the new features IE7 is offering? Thanks!

The main feature being Tabs. I like IE7 better than Firefox only because IE7 loads in a reasonable amount of time and Firefox doesn't always display pages correctly (I.E. those built for IE such as Altiris).
The new beta is out now (beta 2). Download it at microsoft.com

Same as falco85 here, firefox dominates my computer, although i'm not an anti IE person, i realy hope IE7 wil be beter then firefox and other IE versions, but i doubt it.

After a first test about two months ago I tried out Internet Explorer 7 (beta 2) again. Here is a good description of how to use it together with an installed IE 6.
I wanted to know if my own sites cdot.de and cthedot.de and also the sites I have been building for people I know still do look right stylewise and are working properly. To my surprise at least my own sites look just like they should and work well apart from one exception. I do use some rather complex DHTML stuff like scrolling etc which all are working well regarding that the last major Javascript updates I’ve done is well over a year or even two ago. At the time I developed most of the stuff there were no Javascript frameworks like prototype, Dojo or MochiKit around and I put up my own a tiny helper scripts which are in no way a complete framework but still helped and now show are still not too bad.
For the stylesheets I expected even more failures but it seems all is looking rather well. I guess I was lucky using the right CSS hacks which still work. In most cases I try to minimize the hacks anyway and it seems this works out now.
I guess on further and more detailed investigation I’ll find a few glitches but that is for another time. Maybe I even wait for the final IE 7 version which should not but I expect will change some rendering again…

I have used firefox for a considerable time now and I think I would go back to IE with its newest version.
I have an IE6 still and I have really trouble with its speed especially at loading, I hope its just because of my computer.
I will update my IE with IE7 and I will post what are the changes and advantages compare to firefox. Although from the posts given, I think I could expect a really good quality.
