I posted that purely for some simple humor, not because I subscribe to the belief that people should use Firefox. I feel as if I am one of those dying breeds that still love Microsoft products, especially their browser. However, I am not that naive to understand that I need other browsers, especially for testing web site development, but Firefox and Opera have never enticed me enough to want to switch. I am actually quite happy that IE7 is out and in the past few days I have been using it, I like it.<
Not sure if I like IE7 yet. Tabbed browsing is a bit alien to me, it's so easy to just press ctrl+n and pop up an identical browser window.
Think I may have found some kind of bug. Was working offline on a page in XML last night, attached to an XSL stylesheet. Worked fine. Downloaded IE7 this morning and the exact same XML page brought up a "The system cannot locate the resource specified. Error processing resource 'file:///C:/Documents and Settings/..." message. Uploaded it to my server and it worked fine. <
Note - I may take a few days to recieve your email. Hotmail filters all new emails as junk. Would be best to post all questions, concerns in a forum topic to catch my immediate attention. This way others can assist and also correct any similar mistakes.

I had exactly the same opinion when I first started using it, but you soon wonder what you did without them
I would also agree. When I used Opera for testing web sites, I got distracted so much by the tabbed browsing that I actually modified the settings to turn off tabbed browsing. However, having used the Maxthon shell for IE for some time now, I've actually grown to like it. <
That website is just fuel between the childish IE and Firefox war.
I'm not so sure I'd call "Browser War 2" (or whatever you want to call it) childish. Some of the participants, yes; the actual competition, no. Its good, technology-based competitions like this that help move the software forward.
As to the discussions related to using tabbed browsing, I love it. I used to have so many open windows it wasn't even funny. When I found the MyIE shell and FireFox I rejoiced. I still haven't had a chance to test out IE7 so I really can't say too much about it.<
Someone please tell me how to enable opening a link in a new tab through middle click.
I don't know whether it's because I have Maxthon configured for that, or whether because I'm using a Microsoft mouse, but middle clicking a link does open a new tab.<
