Yes , Juan I do. Some of the old features ,such as "tools" are a little more clumsy to use. However I like the Phishing scanner. I hope the new security features are good,only time will tell on those. Overall I am disappointed somewhat with the new explorer, but I will use it and see what happens. Not a huge improvement over the old explorer but a moderate improvement. What would we expect from Windows?? Something exciting and cool ?? lol Never happen. lol

It's a vast improvement, but still a rough version of Firefox, which I much prefer.
Firefox...
Free, fast, a small 5mb download, Firefox blocks pop-ups and sites from secretly installing programs on your computer. It will copy over your settings from other browsers (cookies, settings, bookmarks). Firefox is powerful too, it's more up-to-date than even IE7 according to the web standards (w3.org).
The main reason I like Firefox is because it's customizable.
Why is customizability important?
Imagine being able to do 2 small things and never seeing a banner ad, flash ad or an iframe ad again? (Remember, pop-ups are already gone)
Imagine being able to pause your computer's music player when the phone rings without having to switch to it?
Firefox puts the power back in your hands!
