What do you think of IE7.0?

If IE7 is hanging it could be the phishing filter not being able to check the page out. There is a KB fix for it on the MS site. If you have clean/ format installed vista and it still happens then I would think something is very wrong.

I don't like the menu/nav bar system at all, and the fonts it renders with are horrible.

However, I suppose I do approach is with some bias, as i've been using Firefox for ages and much prefer it.

7.0 to me looks like a job half done and they rushed it out.

Some basic features which normal in other tabbed browsers are missing such as.

Live storage of opened tabs so if the browser crashes the tabs come back when reopened.
Closing a tab taking you back to last used tab not the last tab on the bar.
Multiple rows for tabs.
Full customisation of toolbars.
Download history
saving opened tabs as group

Also there has been various bugs I have witnessed some posted in another thread.

msn doesnt honour the open in new tab/window setting, always uses new window.
enabling true type html slows down outlook greatly.
it struggles with some auth types.
it has crashed a few times.
Using back/forward can display intermediate pages that are sub links.

Well I quite like IE7, but I ended up converting to FF because my PC at uni decided that IE6 the 7 should take ages to "find" different pages. Takes it around 10-15 seconds before it actually started loading the site. This was after setting up a VPN and removing it. I have unistallered IE 7 and reinstalled but it made no different. Anyone ever encountered this problem before and know of a fix?

PM the fix if there is one btw... don't want to hijack the thread
