Anyone else get the updated internet explorer. I don't really like it so far. I still have yet to find the history button. Brad your the web savy guy, better or worse?

I like it. Great tab features, softer font style. Takes a bit to get use too.

The history button is under the star on the very left with a 3rd tab under that.

If I can figure out how to disable this tabbed browsing shit I'll be all over it. But I hate that they tried to change the way I have browsed the net for the past 10 years. (Another reason I hate Firefox, as well...)

As an internet user for 20 years I've found its best to embrace change and eventually you'll be hooked. I love firefox but have to use IE at work. I'm THRILLED that Microsoft finally got on board with tabbed browsing so I don't have to have 10 windows open!

Ok, here's a question for ya'll that use the new browser...

I generally crash IE at least once a week, if not more, namely because I browse TONS of sites constantly. I really like the fixes they made in IE to seperate the process scopes so when one browser dies my others keep going -- how does this work with tabs? If one tab crashes, does the tab vanish, or does the whole browser die?

I still find it funny that ppl tout the benefits of Firefox like its a godsend, and still 12 years after I reported a MAJOR problem in the Mozilla core it still exists in Firefox, and I can crash that browser on demand... I simply hate the Mozilla core because of that, and the fact that it improperly renders certain elements, and takes forever to start the engine... Bleh, open source is better my ass...

As a web developer I too hate Mozilla. The images are slow to load, many plugins still wont work. IE7 took some time to get use too and i find myself still opening more then 1 window, but i'm really liking it more then IE6. I find it very stable and reliable.

Yeah, I plan on doing the upgrade, as I did find a few features at my moms on her system that I LOVED (such as the ability to see and enable/disable all addons with ease). Maybe I'll finally break down and do it tonight when I go to bed... God I hope it doesn't make my machine shit out, lol...

I installed it a few days ago, and once I disabled the tabbed browsing, its not too bad.. Don't like that you can't move the Favorites and Navigation bars tho.
