I've been using it all last night. Hmmm, there is a definite bug. I have Adobe Professional and you know how once that's installed, you get this new toolbar installed in all your apps like Word, Excel, etc, including your web browser. This toolbar appear to fit pretty well with the other default IE7 toolbars at the top (at first), but when I closed the browser and reopen it again, that thing gets huge---expanding the entire toolbar as if stretching it out!!!
That's about the only thing I see wrong. Another thing I would've like to see from IE7, but didn't get incorporated into it is when you do a CTL+T---I would love the new tab to take me to my homepage instead of leaving it blank (ie, Firefox, lol). There are some cool features other than that. Actually, IE7 is completely revamped from IE6. Tons of good stuff. The preview Quick Tabs look pretty neat if you have tons of website opened up at one time. Then at quick glance, you can see which tab you want to go into. I wish the Command Toolbar would have more features from the standard Menu Bar so I can remove the Menu Bar. Also, Google Toolbar is still better than the built in search engine with IE7 (even though it uses Google too ) because when you type keywords to search on Google with Google Toolbar, it also appears on the toolbar itself to further refine the search on that particular website you visited. Sure IE7 Google has the Find feature too, but I'm too lazy to click on the drop down arrow, then type in the word again, then click find, etc. Google Toolbar already has the search words displayed from within the bar so I just have to click on the word and it automatically finds it on the page. Also the Google Map is handy for instant directions. I guess Microsoft can't incorporate everything from Google.
With all the toolbars I have displayed, it's actually more clutter than IE6 (with the same toolbars that I have from IE6 carried over to IE7). For the features it has, it's still a fine looking web browser with increased functionality. The phishing filters are new. It's my first phish filter ever so we'll see how that works out. The little picture tags it leaves before the web address looks nice. At quick glance, I can see which website I need to go to instead of searching for it in the URL window. Also, web browsing is much faster than IE6. Must be the way it's configured on my PC.
Can't get IE7 for my desktop, lol. Too illegal to install and didn't pass validation . I've got a legal ISO of XP SP2 from MSDN, but so damn lazy to install it. I have to make a complete backup of my drive (which is a lot of work because I have way too many files on there). Format, reinstall, blah, blah, and all that good stuff. Too much time...
