There will have to be a big improvement with security before i will use IE, Tabbed browsing is great but security to me is a higher selling point.
I do use IE for windows update.
I use firefox and don't see me changing.

but you're one of the few to show so openly he hates open source. Can you explain why?

On my Windows 95 system, I can't run IE6, let alone IE7. Mind if I use Firefox there?

I just can't see people racing to IE7 just because of tabbed browsing.

Security issues is why a lot of people went to firefox.

I will stick with firefox thanks.

I currently use Opera and firefox instead of IE because of the safety issues so the new version would have to be MUCH better to make me want to go back to using the same old same old i've come to expect from Microsoft.

WELL THE NEW..

Version is going to be more secure and much better than firefox and opera. And just like i said as soon as IE 7 be out all the firefox users going to be Internet Explorer users.

Judging by some of your responses to other people's well thought out opinions I'm curious HP, are you actually old enough to be allowed internet access without adult supervision?
