David, IE7 is in RC Stage. So I'm assume it's pretty polished (It's on my system but I never use it)

I'll wait for the official release, especially for testing purposes you need to know what others have installed. (And if it's anything like the Betas, I won't be using it for anything other than testing...)

The Real IE7 was released today, so I'm assuming Yahoo was aware of this and released it a few hours early.

IE7 may be safer, but it's still slow and mushrooming with each version. Sure they cleaned up the icons a bit but there are still major toolbar problems (each toolbar has the wrong name under add/remove toolbars). The only reason I use FF, IE, and Opera instead of just FF is because sometime I need to log in with more than one account on the same website, like google for example, and I cant do that from the same browser. I'm sure theres some way I could work around that using firefox by installing it in different locations or something, right? I haven't gotten around to that
