ok hit me with the benefits again??
This summarises my thoughts (from another post)
IE 7 doesn't get nearly enough credit for how much of an improvement it really is, and I have to say that if I was using Windows I would use it over Firefox without a question. I really like the interface of IE 7 better, as it is a very minimal UI that leaves the maximum room for webpage viewing.
I also think that IE 7 has tabbed browser implemented better than in Firefox 2. I like how you don't have to go to the file menu every time you want to open a new tab -- it's right there at your disposal. Quick tabs is a really nice feature too, especailly when you have a lot of tabs open like I've been known to do.
Another great thing about IE 7 is the obvious: compatability. It's very rare that you see a site that says "This site will only work in Mozilla Firefox". This make for less frustration when browsing the web.
I like how the favorites menu is improved in IE 7 also. The little star next to the tabs is a great way of handling it so that it is always conveniently at your disposal, but not needlessly taking up space in the UI when it's not needed like with's Firefox's bookmarks toolbar.
I used to have a lot of fun bashing IE, but I can't do that anymore now that IE 7 is out. I think it's time that Firefox fans start to give credit where credit is due. If you ask me, Firefox is the most overrated browser available right now.
