As in "in the middle," I mean below the URL box. It's between the tabs and the URL box. That's not right! Menu always goes at the very top of all problems.

Is this too buggy to install over my current IE6? I use IE as my main browser.

Currently I have noticed no bugs. It's very stable.

I don't hate IE7... but I don't like it either. Don't like it on XP or Vista Beta.

The ones of you bitching about the layout and how you can't navigate it, what else did you expect? It's new, you have to get used to it. Just because you're a firefox whore doesn't mean you can't play fair with the upcoming browser war. IE7 has copied Firefox and other browsers to a certain extent, and added a couple of features on top.

IE7 is fantastic, and if some of you haters out there would try it for more than the 2 minutes you used it after installing it, you might atleast appreciate what MS has done with it. I'm not saying it'll make you switch, just be fvcking realistic about your use with it before bashing it.

Oh, yes, I see now. The "Classic Menu" isn't check marked so I didn't have that menu at all. This is still Beta, maybe they will change this. Also, you don't even need that menu anymore because it's spread out in a different way.
