I had Used IE 7.0 beta version for some time from M$oft.
I felt that It was too slow than IE 6.0 So when we had the IE 7.0 Stable Release I wanted to have a look at it.
So I Downloaded IE 7.0 From Microsoft Site.
To start With MIcrosoft First Validates Whether You Have a Genuine OS Or not
Luckily It seemed I had a Valid Copy of Windows XP SP2 So I could Go ahead With Download.
It took a long time For Downloading and Update and Install REquired Updates after Downloading 15 MB installer.
Finally After about 1 hour( as I have a slow Dial up Connection.)
Everything just Worked Fine.
Finally I Must Congratulate Microsoft For Providing a Browser That Looks As good as Firefox.
OK . Microsoft has added one more feature Quicktab CTRL+ Q in addition to Tabbed Browsing.
Phishing Filter Which is a New Security Feature That Validates a Whether A web site is Fake one or Genuine.
You can have Customized Search engine Preferences.
But I Could Set Only Google as My search Engine.( for Once)
Although FireFox Gives a Variety of Choices.
It seems That IE 7.0 is at least twice as fast as IE 6.0 although I am not convinced in speed it matches Firefox.2.0
Even FireFoxHas Come up With Latest FireFox 2.0
Which has Features like Web Form SpellCheck.
Seems Now There Is a healthy Competition Between IE and FireFOx.
Now that More people Will Start Using IE 7.0 Only After MicroSoft Vista Release.
It is to be seen whether we do not have new exploits built for IE 7.0 as with Previous IE versions.
I am Sure Microsoft is now already ready to take up challenges posed by Various Exploits.
Not unlike In past Releasing Patches after a lot Damage is done.
