Anybody using IE7 yet ??

Curious as to whether anybody is using IE7 yet and what they think.

I haven't heard much anywhere except that it is a little bit buggy.

No.  I've just switched back to Firefox from Netscape mostly because Firefox's new build has a spell check facility which I find useful.  (Gives American English spelling of course but I can soon correct that).  I believe that IE7 is still very much in the Beta stage isn't it?

No Elf, IE7 is no longer in "beta" version and has been available since early November as an optional, but "priority" download via Microsoft Updates.

I have updated my IE6 to IE7 and, if only for security alone, I would suggest that anyone else updates to IE7 also, as IE6 has more holes in it than a colander by all accounts!

IMHO, yes it is better than IE6 (at least it has at last got tabbed browsing!), but I still don't think it is a patch on Firefox (or the new Opera 9 browser for that matter) and from the independent reviews I have read, the vast majority seem to think the same way as I do.

Just my opinion though.:) Anyone else got a view?

I'm a Firefox girl. I did look at IE7 but really, Firefox has been doing the tabbed browsing for ages and there seem to be no bugs. Whereas IE7 still seems to have the odd problem here and there. I keep IE7 on my pc just for those occasional sites that do not display correctly on Firefox, though thankfully that is rare these days.

Besides, it's nice to use something not owned by Microsoft.

I'm using IE7 now, I updated last week. It took a little while to get used to, but it hasn't given me any problems yet.

Well... there was nothing in my dark side that really interested me. I guess I just dont have what it takes to be a bad guy.
