I won't switch from FF unless there's some insanely important feature that they come up with that I can't live without. MS sat for so long on IE, theonly reason they are spending so much time on 7 is because they finally have competition.

Fixed.

One of the only things that's keeping me from becoming a full Opera user is that it sucks on certain messageboards like 4chan.

Full screen mode is really cool in IE7. Tabbed browsing is similar to Firefox but also different.

I smell the presence of a FF fanboy... I will concede that FF has it perks, but it hardly dominates over IE. It seems like people rave about FF simply because they don't like Microsoft.

Dear God that GUI is looks like it was born at the top of the ugly tree and hit every branch on the way down.

Does IE7 support FTP in the browser. I remember that I couldn't log into my FTP account with earlier version of IE7.

Well there's only IE7 Beta 1 and IE7 Beta 2. Beta2 has some very public security hole. I don't think the hole is there in Beta 1, but I don't care. I use Beta 1 for browsing. If I have to connect to an FTP server, I use a real FTP client. :)

The only thing that sucked about FireFox 1.x - 1.5.x was that FF 1.5.x had a considerable memory leak and how long it took for the program to launch after you clicked the icon. The memory leak was fixed in later editions of 1.5.x (and even before that in beta 1.6), but it still takes FOR FREAKING EVER to load after launching the program. I mainly use IE because waiting the extra 3-4 seconds drives me up the wall. I'm an impatient bastard.

that is a problem with certain message boards that aren't designed with the Netscape engine in mind but for most things, Opera has everything i need. built in RSS reader, my favorite:mouse gestures, widgets and is faster then FF for me atleast. i tried FF for a while but didn't like it.
