well said dayve smile,I can honestly say that in 20+ years of computing I have never had a virus/trojan or spyware infect my PC, and contrary to popular belief, firefox and linux and macs suffer from most of the buffer under/over run security problems that windows does, [gets down from soapbox ]<

IE7 is quite comfortable in many aspects, even with the sad fact that IE7 requires a lot of system resources for some reason for me. More memory usage saddens me infact and not displaying PNG colors correctly.
However, I think this is one of best improvements of IE.<

Hmmm. I find it's been taking less memory than the default FF 1.5 install. At least for me. It's not nearly the resource hog the first beta was.<

1. all you Microsoft bandwagon haters are really silly. 2. if no one tests the beta versions, it will never be released.
Eeeeasy now! Notice the wink I am running IE7 and have for a while, without any of the problems described above. Best browser ever from Microsoft. Took me a while to get use to, but now I can't go back. Numerous times I have closed the window instead of the tab bigsmile
A promising product all in all.<

Have they done away with their silly "friendly" HTTP error messages?

yes, that is allways one of the first things I do with IE, how the hell can it be friendly to not actually tell you what the error is smile<

I think they figure its more friendly to the people who don't know what the heck it is... though I've found that even then its not as big a help as they think because friendly or not the people who don't understand the "non-friendly" message usually end up calling someone who does understand - but can't do anything because the messages have been made "friendly" for their non-technical counterparts... just a random thought from too much coffee and not enough sleep. tongue<
