I have been using the new Explorer 7 Beta for a while now, I hate to say it but so far I like it. It pains me to like a Microsoft product but this one is pretty good. I have not had any issues yet due to it being a beta so the final product should be pretty stable.

Has anyone else tried it?

I haven't tried it yet. I always wait for the final release of any Microsoft product and then I try it.

Thunderbird over here. I only use MS Explorer when I have issues opening certain pages.

I installed it and its OK, but I go back to firefox because of the add-ons and type-ahead find. I think firefox is less ugly too.

I fully expect the legions of Microsoft haters to find many holes. I predict the first security patch will be announced within one week after regular release.

I HAVE BEEN USING IT AT WORK FOR A WHILE AND FIND IT EASY TO USE.

I like it (the tabs) to help me when I am adding stuff to my website. Have not had any problems at all with it.

You give it it that long? I was thinking 2 days.

I haven't tried it yet and will not till the office release comes out.

After discovering Firefox, and Opera, I will never use a MS browser ever again.

The known security issues in IE are enough to make me shudder. With Firefox, and the extensions I have, I have forgotton what pop ups, pop unders, and those annoying flash animation adverts that cover up half the screen.

From what I have heard, IE7 has just copied several features from Firefox and Opera (tabbed browsing), and nothing more.

Hmmmm......sounding like a serious fanboy here. Maybe I need to go have a drink and a cigar. :)
