A major one being the Tab function that is common to Firefox and Opera users.n The quick tab function is rather funny! :)
U even get to customize yr search bar, which was rather cool in Mozilla. Its ability to block pop ups and active x and inform you in a more intuitive way. In general i find it better than IE6!

Multi tabbing, phishing filter, increased security.

Thats right, I would trust your real world usage over MS blurb, I did look on the MS sight before posting but it does not tell you about real world problems.

I havn't had much issues so far. not with the beta version anyway. Only downloaded final version today.
I can't c much cons. it needs getting used to as it has a lot of difference compared to IE6. But that shouldn't take u long. My only problem so far has been Windows Live Mail.
Am not sure y my connection has slowed down either, especially when am cheking my email.
I need to look further into that.

Am sorry for silly questions but i kindda like to know things, be it anything but gossiping!

No problem about the questions. There have been betas of IE7 around for months, and anything that works with those should work with the final version, but I suspect that Microsoft have delayed the auto update to give everyone a chance to ensure their systems are ready.

Fair enough...I only knew about IE7 beta around a month ago!
But why do they stop supporting previous version of windows. e.g Win2k! It only came out 6yrs ago. And Xp came out 1 or 2 yrs after, so realy Win2K is 4-5 yrs old. I would understand Win98 and Win ME.

Talking of which...it reminds me that Win ME once existed!! seems so long ago.

Am not sure abt IE7 but Widows Live Messenger and the last 2 versions of WMP didn't comply with Win2K!

The runonce msn site you get on first open is running rather slow :rofl:

---------- Post added at 17:02 ---------- Previous post was at 16:55 ----------

Actually the runonce msn site is completly down right now...and causing my ie7 to crash.

Ahhh well out comes trusty Firefox 2 RC3 to help :D

Got in the runonce site and all is calm and smooth again.

As for bugs it was longer than I expected

Sorry if I have missed something here, but where has the 'Check mail' button gone?

Don't know never used it, only thing I've noticed is that it seems slower loading signatures then in IE6,
