The RSS reader looks cool.

I've only played with IE7 a little, but I do think that their RSS reader feature is pretty cool. Not cool enough to make me come back from Firefox though. I'll just use the awesome Google Reader.
I also like the improved CSS support.

i installed the first public beta of the software some months ago. i got rid of it because the search engine didn't list the results on the left side of the page like all of the previous versions of the browser. it is for this reason alone that i have never used any other browser extensively. i prefer the listed results because when i click on a link, i don't have to hit the back button in order to return to the search results. give me an updated version of any browser with this feature, and i will gladly install it!!!

This is a typical subject trying to get reactions from all the FAN boys/girls on both sides.
You need IE7 if you're running a Windows operating system.
Use it if you like or find one of the many alternatives but by installing IE7, you've at least updated your system and eliminated some of the open security issues.
Yes, I know there are new ones and they'll be patched as always.

I am also unsure why the ''refresh'' and ''stop'' buttons are now separated from the ''back'' and ''forward'' buttons. Not much sense there. I am also upset at not having mobility to be able to move my toolbars where I desire. Plus, I am unable to arrange my ''favorites'' in alphabetical order or move/drag them to a folder. Please let me know if there is a way to correct/fix these features. Thx - Michael.

Move on, there's nothing to see here folks. This is old technology playing catchup and doing a bad job of it.
First, it's painful to download and then install and then reboot - blah, old MS way.
Second, tabs are slow to open and get even slower.
Third, it only works for XP. Why can't it be used on Win2K for those who can't afford to upgrade to XP and then have to shell out extremely high dollars for the next iteration, Vista?
Fourth, it's not platform independent; can't run it under other O/Ss.
Fifith, add-ons? What add-ons? So far anything of any use must be ''paid'' for. - blah, typical MS model - you keep paying for functionality that should be native to the app. User should be able to ''add-on'' only what they need and not have to pay for it.
Sixth, BLAH - I'm bored of this already. IE7 and the now discussed IE8 are a mug's game. Go for it if you like wearing sheep's clothing; I've washed my hands of anything MS and within the next year or so everything in my life will become ''windowless''.
Getting tired of Explorer 7!
by mm2kanda73 - 11/1/06 5:31 AM In reply to: What do you like/dislike about Internet Explorer 7? by John.Wilkinson
I updated to Explorer 7 maybe 2 weeks ago or so. I'm so tired of constantly holding my CTRL key cause it seems to block everything. It blocks my access to something as simple as my trying to move an e-mail into a new folder. I would download another program like firefox (which my husband has on his PC) but i learned that I can't use it w/ a few of the websites where I pay our bills online which is frustrating cause then i end up talking to customer service. blah!
I will mostly likely take the time this week to go back to 6. I have already been annoyed w/ the fact that the skins i have been using on IE 6 for well over a year wouldn't load on. I had to delete toolbars i like to have loaded just so things could be visible. which was just odd i could only see half the font.
Dislike: No Quick Links?
by MooreSites - 11/1/06 5:34 AM In reply to: What do you like/dislike about Internet Explorer 7? by John.Wilkinson
I hope I'm wrong on this, but in IE6 I had quick link buttons I could use across the top of my browser (below the address bar). I can't find a way to use them with IE7. It was really nice to just click a button on top for my most viewed sites.
Yes tried it, now I'm back to Mozilla Firefox
by harley-d - 11/1/06 5:41 AM In reply to: What do you like/dislike about Internet Explorer 7? by John.Wilkinson
Yes I tried it for a few weeks, but I still think a person is much better off using Firefox, IE7 like it's previous version cannot compete with Firefox.

It didn't add much and the interface is awkward. What was added was copied from other browsers. There is no innovation. Its just lame. Additionally on the three different PC's I installed it on for testing it occasionally hangs (at the worst possible times). I think Microsoft missed the train on this one. Hopefully this isn't how Vista is going to be.
Where's Avant Browser in this thread?
by The_Mad_Russian - 11/1/06 5:57 AM In reply to: What do you like/dislike about Internet Explorer 7? by John.Wilkinson
To be honest, I'm not that impressed with IE7. I've been spoiled for some time now by Avant Browser (http://www.avantbrowser.com/). It has had tabbed browsers for a while, with better customization control than either IE or Firefox.
likes and/or dislikes about IE7
by wesley - 11/1/06 6:00 AM In reply to: What do you like/dislike about Internet Explorer 7? by John.Wilkinson
I am still not used to the new IE7 yet but I have found that it works without a problem on my laptop but has problems showing *.mov files in one of my favorite sites, NAPP Photoshopuser.com. When I click on a video tutorial, I hear a click (error) on my machine and the video screen is closed. This doesn't happen on my lap top. I also have Firefox installed and it works just fine on the same site. I will continue to learn about IE7 but will probably use Firefox as my default browser until problems are ironed out.
I uninstalled IE 7 last night
by ghiscau - 11/1/06 6:01 AM In reply to: What do you like/dislike about Internet Explorer 7? by John.Wilkinson
It was SSOOO SSSLLLOOWWW
I had to uninstall it.
It took two minutes to load.
It locks up after 10 minutes of browsing.
I'm not running a slow PC.
I had no problems until I installed IE 7.
Now it's gone.
I won't miss it.
IE 7 abd IE 6
by abcx4zs - 11/1/06 6:06 AM In reply to: What do you like/dislike about Internet Explorer 7? by John.Wilkinson
I downloaded IE 7, used it for a couple of hours and then deleted it and went back to IE 6. I just don't like the format. I'll stick with IE 6 thank you. It's much easier for me to navigate. I don't like all those pages on one screen.
