It's OK. I still prefer Firefox, but it has a lot of things I like better than IE6. Only thing I can say is although it has some nice features, it seems to have allot of stuff that I don't need or care to have. I'm a pretty simple browser person. The security was definitely needed, but we'll see how the rest holds up or holds it down. I personally think it is a bit slower on page execution than IE6, but you do need it for the security added.

Thats my biggest prob with it. Just takes a while to learn to use. I think this site is a bit slower loading than most others. xflyboy you can simply uninstall if you dont like it.

I like it so far. I'm running it on a 5 year old computer, and don't notice any performance problems.

I love it - been running it since the early beta versions, so I've seen a lot of bugs come and go, but it's smooth as silk for me now.
I really enjoy it. It's definitely faster than Opera, and it's pretty much on par with Firefox from what I can personally tell.
Best of all, I think once you get accustomed to the new navigation options and configure the buttons/menus/ controls to your surfing habits, you actually surf more conveniently.
The most important thing for me to prevent frustration was properly setting up the tab options. This is available in "Internet Options" (look in control panel) on the General tab, fourth item down is "Tabs". I had to set it up to "warn when closing single window with multiple tabs" because I kept closing multi-tab windows :)
Makes surfing at work a hell of a lot easier also.

I primarily use firefox, but I did use the IE7 betas.....until they stopped working completely. Luckily I had purchased a new HDD for the computer, and had decided to wipe it completely when I put the new HDD in anyway....that fixed the IE not working at all problem.
I've installed IE7 since it was released officially though, and have had no problems. It does seem the pages load a tad bit slower than firefox or IE6 though.
