I have been using it for about a month now and I like it so far. It is kinda like Netscapes latest where you have tabs opend inside the browser if wanted. I do like that feature and I also like how easy it is to delete history, cache, and all other items pertaining to history with one button. They copied Netscape in a lot of ways on this one.

I am going to use it for a while.

Nevermind, i got it working. For some reason, the original install didnt work.. it was the same version 6 but the properties said version 7. I installed it again and now it is fine.

It looks different from IE6 for sure so make sure you actually installed it.

As far as the tabs go, if you clock on the little square at the top next to the page title beside the favorties star you will start a new tab. You also have the option when right clicking on items to either open them in a new window or in a new tab. I like using one window with multiple tabs as it leaves plenty of toom on the address bar. When I am working I sometimes have 6 or 8 things open at a time so it is nice to only have one active item on the task bar for IE. Then I can see all my other stuff better.

Thanks, Nuck.. but as I reposted.. I finally got it to install correctly after another try. Things work great. I like the new, cleaner top bar with little clutter and of course the tabs.
I really love the "quick tabs" feature. It is like thumbnail versions all on one page if you have many tabs (windows) open.

Yea I read your first post and not your second

I am trying it at work and so far so good...the tabs are nice, but I will still stick with Firefox at home. It seems to work well so far though.

so far, I have had a few pages tell me that they will not function properly with IE7, but no big deal...
