Ah yes...I know it well. All the people who didn't know how to install
IE 7 and never learned how to use it, and who subsequently ranted in the
newsgroups about how much Internet Explorer 'sucks', will clamor to be
among the very first to install IE 8, and the cycle will start anew.

But some, me among them, had and have legitimate
complants. I'm still using IE6 because IE7 slowes
my computer down. Very nioticebality I have tried IE7
on three seperate occasions with the same results.
IE6 works fine, IE 7 doesn't.

I have observed no slowdown vis-a-vis IE 6 in my 6+ year old PC. FWIW,
IE 7 and FF 3 open and work equally quickly for me.

If you don't like IE 7, then switch to Firefox or Opera or Safari. Don't
stay with IE 6: It's not as secure as the newer browsers and it's behind
the times in features.
