It skins the window but it doesn't change the icons as it did with IE6.

I'm the wrong person to ask about resource usage... 
When building a site, I've got a DVD going on on monitor, IE, FF, and Opera on another, and Dreamweaver and PowerDeskPro on the main monitor... and no real problems with resources (just the electric bill).
Doing just some regular browsing on my laptop, it didn't seem any faster or slower than Maxthon. Having said that, its eliminated the very reason I was using Maxthon in the first place - tabbed browsing with IE. There are one or two rarely used Maxthon plugins that I may miss at one point in time or another - like the FlashSave - but I'm sure I can find a replacement sooner or later. 
My only beefs with IE7 have been mentioned above - can't move the address bar, and since I've installed it .png desktop wallpapers don't look right even though they show up fine opened in IE7.< |

| I just remembered the 2nd mildly annoying feature in IE7. When I view an XML file it parses it into a friendly view state instead of showing all of the individual nodes. I've looked for a way to view the raw XML data but can't seem to find a way to do it unless I save it and then view it with something else.< |

my XML files do not show as raw XML files in IE7. here is a screenshot to elaborate a bit more:
I know I can view source, but I was hoping there was a setting that just showed the XML without any type of stylesheet applied for appearance.< |

you can turn off the feed reading view:
Tools -> Internet Options -> Content -> Feeds Settings
uncheck "Turn on feed reading view" in the Advanced section< |

My bad. I assumed all XML files were being read that way. I never had a reason to view other type of online XML files through Internet Explorer so never took notice that it was only doing it to RSS feeds.

for those of you who would prefer the address bar to be underneath the menu here is a registry tweak that should move it.
Open regedit and set the following
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Toolbar\WebBrowser]
"ITBar7Position"=dword:00000001
to undo the change
"ITBar7Position"=dword:00000000
