Internet Explorer 7 beta2 has finally been released to the public. I am installing now to check out the competition!

I imagine I will stick with firefox, but doesn't hurt to try!

First Impressions:

Quite nice, GUI is clean, am not a fan of how the tabs look - they are a bit squashed, but its ok.

I love the RSS feeds, they look amazing on the browser!

Search isn't bad, but its a ripoff of firefox

All in all not bad, but it would be nice if you could theme it, andhave extensions.

I won't be using it simply for the lack of "adblock" extensions! I can't live without those!
