Just updated IE6 to IE7. Still getting to grips with it but it does look cleaner than the old Explorer. Perhaps I will abandon Firefox for a while and see how this new Browser performs.

I have been using it for a while, strangly the only sites that give me problems are Microsoft ones!

I do like the ability to keep adding tabs eg if I do a search in google, open up successive finds in tabs so I can go back to original search at any time.

The printing is also vastly better.

You have always been able to do this. Right click and select "Open in new window". No idea if IE7 does this with fewer resources but I doubt it:-)

Yeah but the problem with that when i am "Working hard" here at work, is that you have squillions of windows open saying "Yachting and Boating World" and other stuff.

With IE7, it only shows the title of the tab you were in before minimizing (when the boss walks by!)

Hence I always have a tab opened to Microsoft Tech Support page.

The problem with IE7 is that it makes things appear in the wrong place.....look its at it again, this post appears to be in "the Thames" as opposed "the Lounge"! Wait till I see Mr Gates next! /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Just started using Firefox on the home PC & must admit quite like it. Anything that means using less of Bill Gate's carp is an improvement.
