It overrides my default homepage! Sticking to IE6.0 for now, but how do you get rid of the MS page that comes up when I start up IE that's wants you to upgrade to IE7.0?

I'll always use browsers that have the greatest compliance to those standards. And as for security, FF and Opera win hands down. Disclaimer: I am a happy user of Linux, both at work and at home, MS alienated me long ago with their dishonesty.

It was hard to remove because it is installed as an update not as a new program. After you remove it - you have no system. I don't want to have my wallet out while I am using a browser.

If you wanna be safe & sound then just use FireFox 2.0 (RC-3 now!) IE6 is already full of trash so what will you expect of IE7…if you want to destroy your computer, go ahead & download IE7.

What IE7 has done is not more than copy and paste from FF features...just pasted (didn't care to organize it properly what an user may find useful and convenient to use). I would strongly recommend ppl to try out FireFox-2 (RC-3 now) at <a href="<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.mozilla.org/projects/bonecho/all-rc.html"">http://www.mozilla.org/projects/bonecho/all-rc.html"</a> title="<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.mozilla.org/projects/bonecho/all-rc.html"">http://www.mozilla.org/projects/bonecho/all-rc.html"</a> target="_blank" rel="nofollow"><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.mozilla.org/projects/bonecho/all-rc.htm...">http://www.mozilla.org/projects/bonecho/all-rc.htm...</a></a> and think twice before u install IE-7. About memory leak of FF-2, the situation has improved to much better in FF-2.0. So, no worry of memory leakage anymore. I have used both FF-2(RC3 by now) and IE-7.

IE7 beating FF2? not a chance! MS should've worked on IE7 for a longer period, not some knee jerk reaction to shrinking market size rather than some serious thought to suffering users all over. i hope sense prevails, and people download IE7 to cover thier a*** (for all those IE6 users) i like FF2 better – the spell check works like a charm. yeah the memory leakages are a pain – but i only have a few extensions – cant live without those.

Firefox 2.0 is one more step ahead, though.<br /> <br /> And IE7 only works on XP... and is probably impossible to uninstall. I'm not going to install it on anything production-related.

Seriously, it does!! I had used the RC1 version and today, I downloaded the public release version and used it. I have been using it for a few hours now and frankly, I think anyone who uses it will be impressed (except for die hard Firefox fans).<br /> <br /> I am a fan of Firefox too and I dont find too much of a difference between Firefox and IE7. The only small difference I notice is that IE7 loads faster than Firefox. IE7 rocks!! Seriously, it does!! I had used the RC1 version and today, I downloaded the public release version and used it.
