IE 7 beta

I tried out IE 7 beta 2 for a few hours today. The new interface is
quite a departure from previous builds of IE. It certainly will take some
getting used to. The tabbed browsing works very nice. RSS feeds and search
bar are an improvement. However, As far as I can tell, IE 7 doesn't have
anything that Firefox doesn't already use. Plus Firefox has a more
customizable interface. With IE 7, certain segments of the browser cannot
be moved around or resized at all.

ACK. Ugly huge tabs, toolbars an icons. No extensions. Strange menues you
can't customize.
Though i nearly never use IE since three years now i can say that i liked
IE 5.5 much better than IE 7.

In regard to your earlier post about FF crashing... if you had IE7 installed that *may* be
the problem. I don't think they get along very well thanks to m$ but don't quote me on
that. )

IE 7 beta was installed after the 2nd Firefox crash. However, I've
since reformatted my hard drive and reinstalled everything, except IE 7.
