I think Microsoft has to make IE7 as good as possible, and that it will support all older sites without problem. If it doesn't - they know who will take over. They can't afford it now. Surfers will choose the browser which can display web sites properly.

MrYum, I have FF 1.5 and it works well. Older versions were indeed prone to lockups. Not frequently, but it annoys when you have to waste time unblocking it instead of working.

i started to use firefox and im so happy with it i will never use ie again.. kinda like how we all used netscape in the mid 90's and i finally got to use ie.. tried opera, not imressed
