A recent new policy, outlawing Firefox, at the company I'm working has created a perfect storm for me to install IE7. So I did.
In case you missed it: IE7 was released yesterday. See msdn.microsoft.com for download details.
The good:
- Memory usage isn't as bad as Firefox
- The new Favorites menu works really well, open in new tab is a nice feature
- Quick Tabs is also really cool*If you middle-click on a link on a page, it opens the page in a new tab right next to the tab you are one.
- Popup blocker is built in
- Takes 15-20 minutes to install, and requires a reboot.
- It is slower to display than FireFox (I dont have any metrics on that, purely anecdotal)
- I've seen some issues with Fonts (they jump around from time to time, I last saw this while looking at Digg.com
- The Find (ctrl-F) still uses the old IE style. I miss the FireFox find.
- no built in ad-block.
