I downloaded it today at work to try to cure some of our internet problems. It mostly is like a mix of Firefox and Safari. The there's the Flock-like forward and back buttons. I thought about switching to 7 earlier, but didn't want to use a "beta" for work but then decided that all Microsoft products are basically in a "beta" stage anyway. I think when mainline Microsoft customers start to use this new browser they're going to be confused by the changes. The toolbars are designed much better than previous versions but are grouped differently. Anyhow, the new version still didn't get rid of the file of a blank screen on our homepage I can't seem to get rid of. I switched to MSN as a homepage and that overrode it, but now I have that nasty AOL-like MSN browser.
And another bitch. I hate late model HP computers. Of all the Wintel clone computer makers, HP adds the most of their own crummy software and who knows what else. I bet it's HP software keeping that blank homepage on my Explorer browser. I bet it's HP software that crashes my Firefox twenty times a day because of a Shockwave plug-in, I keep installing to no effect. On another HP computer, every time I installed Real Media, my camera wouldn't download pictures into the computer. I guess they figure they can keep steering their PC customers to those profitable high dollar printers and printer cartridges they're so famous for. I never had problems like this on a Gateway, E-Machine, Dell, any anonymous beige box.
