i think its still a pain. some old javascripts dont work... it takes forever to load... i work with apps that open a lot of popups and the perfomance is pathetic to say the least. the tabs open much slower than on firefox, and the browsing is not as fast either. only reason i am sticking with is my clients coz they've moved on.
in terms of functionality i think its cool. the security is better, the tabs are nice. it looks much sleeker but the new layout takes a bit of getting used to. a lot of the "new" IE features have been present in other browsers for a long time and if you been using these other browsers.... IE7 is not so WOW!

It is pretty good, there are some nice features like the ability to manage multiple tabs/windows. Also the status bar is more explicit about what exactly is going on when you're waiting for a page to load. But there are some annoyances, like things haqve moved. For example "Find on this page" and "History" are in totally wierd places, and you lose your File menus by default.

If they kept the layout and just resolved the issues with IE6 then I would of been happy. It's a bit of a change and I couldn't be bothered as it seemed a bit long winded to me. I uninstalled it and went back to using IE6 and Firefox.

IE7 made my 2 desktops and 3 laptops crawl. after uninstalling got a big difference. not so user friendly. you can try downloading it and compare the difference with what you currently have. good luck!

Its better on security, but a HUGE change in layout. It has more features like tabs. Depends if you like change. If you don't mind it, go for it.
