The ones in the software and OS forums.

Seriously though, I have found that IE is fine so long as you use a little sense.
Rarely get adware or spyware even without a software firewall.
When I do have the firewall on I get zilch.

IE7 has been awesome since I started using it during Beta 2.

I've never had any problems with it.

FF = IE7 + thousand of open source extensions
IE7 = IE6 + FF 1.0
Opera = FF - OSS

FF FTW!!!

Fireforx 2.0 is annoying me. It always says the last session closed improperly, whether it did or not, and asks if I want to restore or start a new one.
It also doesn't have some security module for my university website, which means I can't access my personal stuff unless I use IE. Firefox 1.5 worked fine :(
Switch from IE6 to FF1.5 ftw

Excuse the ignorance, but what is OSS?

My FF2 is doing that on one computer but not the others. Overall I like it the best though. IE7 feels slow and bloated.

My machine took a step backwards when I installed IE7. I personally don't recommend it. IE6 never crashed on me. IE7 crashed 3x in an hour on me yesterday, accessing www.adobe.com of all places.

Out of the box, IE7 is great. However, I am hooked on too many of the great extensions to give up FireFox for a while.

IE7 is a great improvement over IE6, but Firefox still wins with it's many useful add ons and simplistic design.
