I\'m really digging 7.  Firefox takes much longer to load for me.

That\'s because IE\'s ingrained into the Windows shell, which is why it has a bad history with so many security holes.

I downloaded it too out of curiosity.  The default button placement feels a little awkward, but it\'s pretty decent I guess.

Yeah.  Kind of weird having the address bar at the top.

There also is no refresh button any more.

They just changed the go button.

I\'m an F5 kind of guy anyway.

I do like the tabs now though and the tab preview.  You can put all the tabs in the main screen, hit refresh and see what\'s changed.

damn M$, I downloaded the IE7 beta  to test it out and can you believe it, the program requires that I validate my authenticity of Windows XP which is Pirated of course, since my original XP Pro copy is only SP1.

Is there a bypass other than the java void one for the windows update, that disables M$ software from attempting to validate the legitimacy of the Xp copy?

I dunno.  I can\'t put Explorer on my desktop either.

I\'m probably gonna download IE7 when the final is released just to keep IE updated, even though I don\'t use it. Sometimes if Mozilla is being gay, I\'d use IE.
