I've been using it for about a month now....albeit as a "base" for Avant Browser!! Can't say I've noticed any major differences......then again a lot of the "new" features have been available on other browsers for a while!! Its supposed to be more secure than IE6.....but to be honest Microcon are playing catch-up and there are still a number of "loopholes" that need to be sorted out!!! Having said that, IE7 is slated to be automatically downloaded over the next couple of months when you run Windows Updates, so unless you decline to install it, it will be in universal use very soon!!

Hi Sojoko, good to see you're still around

Thanks for your comments. IE7 is taking a bit of getting used to and it's a bit annoying that I can't lock the toolbars to where I want to put them! I suppose I have too many toolbars - Ebay, Google, Roboform plus the standard ones.

It is useful having the tabbed browsing though- makes life much simpler.

Hope to see more of you on the forum soon. We're all missing the regular banter between you & Kagsy. Maybe she's forgotten how to do it,it's been so long

Take care
