it messed up my computer bad. was incompatable with just about everything. couldnt use msn with proxy settings after installing it. even the new live messenger has problems. microsoft just wont accept anyone using anything other than internet explorer.
friend of mine just had the same problem and he couldnt even get rid of it. he had to do a system restore just to get it off his computer.
and it just looks horrible too. worst interface ive ever seen for a web browser.

lol It looks incredibly similar to Firefox. I've yet to have any problems with it, including compatibility. Works fine with MSN for me. Do not forget that IE7 at the moment is only the Beta 3 release. Its bound to have a few issues... thats why its a Beta release, not a full release. But even so its a much better browser than the current firefox in my opinion.

An example of how useful the IE7 phishing filter will be :p

firefox is even starting to get attacks from popups and the like lately.

go to trend pc 'housecall' type in housecall in google, if you have adsl its perfect, runs a virus scan on your pc without you downloading any programs. highly recommend if your /in between programs.

aswell as that, those porn sites generally install something to your pc if you click yes, can usually get rid of it by going into your add/remove programs (so i've heard) but sometimes they go in there.

ps, on the ie7 front, i downloaded it the other week, yes its got tabbed browsing, still seems heaps slower, and even opening new tabs it seems to take longer then mozilla.

i mustve downloaded an earlier beta. it had a really weird setup for its bars, and it just looked bad. and yeah it does look like mozilla because all the new features in IE7 have been a part of firefox for a while now

when you tell msn to get your email, does it open in IE or firefox? mine always opens in IE

If you read up on it you will see that windows live msn and email is not compatible with firefox, therefore it will open in IE, if you still have it installed that is. I don't use a hotmail account, so it doesn't phase me.
