Okay, since its been out now for a couple months, anything change with it? I know there were a lot of problems with it before and a lot of people (including myself) had problems with it. I want to upgrade because I do like some of the features it has, but it was slowing my computer down way too much! Any feedback on it??

If you are running Winxp I would suggest you get the new IE7.
Windows automatic update will only work with IE6 or 7, so you need one of them anyway.
IE7 has some nice features as well and you may like them.
I would download the file rather then install from the net. This way you can re-install it later if you have to. It's completely automatic, and there aren't any problems I've heard of.
Firefox is good, but it works better when it can use the Explorer engine to render webpages that don't work with Firefox.
Firefox, Opera, and Netscape all have advantages and disadvantages and none are perfect.

I think that if I were you, I would stick with a browser like Mozzila Firefox or Opera. Internet Explorer 7 does seem to have some glitches and bugs so far but if it isn't a compatability issue, than those programs are better. The only thing that they added to IE7 that is new for them is tabbed browsing, but most other browsers have that as well.

Try using Mozilla Firefox 2.0....IE7 was built on the same concepts as Mozilla...
IE7 still has some problems with running Windows XP....it works Ok on Windows Vista so far as i have seen

I had a similar challenge, and that i have linksys on the spot, also. i might want to signify you uninstall IE 7 and bypass lower back to IE6. bypass into administration Panel, upload/get rid of courses, locate IE7 and uninstall it. Restart your computing gadget and IE 6 will go back. i imagine this may sparkling up your challenge.

A lot of the slowness problems were do to the 'Phishing Filter'. Microsoft has issued a patch for that problem. Or one can simply turn that filter off.
Good luck.

If you are using IE for browsing then its alright, But if you are working with programs that needs to use IE then stick with the earlier version.
