I got the update today, this one is going to take some getting used to! I hate the address bar and back/forward buttons being all the way at the top instead of at the bottom of the toolbars.

Anyone else do this update? What are your thoughts?

maddy,

While I prefer Netscape 8.1 for personal use, I've been using IE7 at work in test for a bit now, and while there are changes to the UI that take a bit to get used to, I found it to be a major improvement. We do a lot of weblications where I work, and we needed to be confident that they wouldn’t break with IE7.

I found the tab groups easy to configure and maintain, and you can subscribe to RSS feeds via the browser. Another feature is the addition of a text box that lets you search directly from the browser rather than through a dedicated webpage. I like the fraud protection that changes the color of the address bar to red when you hit a known phishing site. You get a pop-up warning if the site you are visiting engages in suspicious activity.

But let’s face it, as the first upgrade to IE in five years, IE 7 is still an effort by MS to catch up with other browsers, as these “new” features have been available for a while in browsers such as Navigator, Firefox and Opera.

Still, give the Devil his due, all in all, a good, sound upgrade. Recommended.

One of the IT guys at work told me it doesn't work with our Web-based work platforms so I don't think I'm going to see it in action. I'm fine with my current platforms at home.

I'm still rather suspicious. The purpose of upgrades is to make certain things no longer work properly.
