I installed IE 7 yesterday without much knowledge of the product, exept the obvious. The environment is clean and well setup. I especially like the fact you can start a new browser session (or "tab") within a single execution of IE. Really helps keep clutter to a minimum from multiple IE sessions on the taskbar. I also like the way the menus are setup in this version. More straightforward.

As far as behind the scenes, I'm not a professional programmer, only a novice. However, the extra speed would be obvious to anyone with general computer skills. Better security such as a "Phishing Filter" is an excellent idea as well as improved Microsoft Malicious Software Removal Tool are included without compromising your privacy. I also like the fact a RSS Feed icon automatically displays when visiting PHP BBS sites, such as MyOpenForum.com

Setup took 30-40 minutes and was very painless. Only one restart was required, some final personal settings were saved and that was it. Windows XP SP2 is required for installation. Another note: Your copy of Windows will be verified via the internet before the installation can begin.

Although I haven't been using this browser for very long, I'm supporting it... Thumbs up!

Wow...you've been able to do all this stuff (and so, so, so much more) with Firefox for, what, 3 or more years now? And it takes less than 5 minutes to install and set up. Seriously, I just upgraded to Firefox 2.0 and I don't think the entire upgrade took longer than 1 minute. Though that's on a cable modem. Have you never tried Firefox? I don't have the slightest use for IE anymore. It's only once in a blue moon that I stumble upon a site that's not coded so that it'll work with Firefox, and on those ultra-rare occasions, you can just right-click and open it with IE. In those cases, though, I usually just assume the site's not worth it.
