Preview download? This is the final release. o_O

But I downloaded it, and I hate it more than IE 6, which is sad. The top bar (with the URL bar, etc.) is unmovable, so the menu bar (File, Edit, etc.) is below it. It looks really stupid and disjointed.

I'm staying with Firefox kthx.

I'm gonna have to agree with Dragonfire.

Gah, it's still slower than Firefox. Not cool.

I hate the toolbars too. :/

Well, so far I'm impressed. I have no security problems, and it is still fast.... So it gets my approval.

I'll stick with Mozilla, thank you.
I'm still kinda wary of using IE, no matter how safe they said it is.

As of now, I'm not switching to FF? Why? Because they've just realeased FF 2. It has more bugs than IE 7.

Really? I've only found one bug. It's annoying too (when I click on a link sometimes it'll jump back to the top of the page.)

I prefer Konqueror over Firefox or Internet Explorer.

I'm going to stick with FF. I haven't tried IE7, but I'm just used to the interface and the lingo. Plus, FF has a much prettier logo. :P

Although, I find IE7 is -trying- to be as good as FF, I dont know if it succeeded or not, because obviously I'm not an expert on these matters, whereas Firefox is striving to come up with new ideas to improve the user experience.
