I just downloaded IE 7 Beta 2 and from a very uninformed viewpoint, I think I like it at least as much as I like Firefox. I would like to hear opinions, pro and con on this subject as well as the reasons for those opinions. Thanks in advance. ---

I’ve got firefox, but that is because the setup at work is as such. I have not used explorer for a time so I can not say how they compare. Oh, wait, here’s an [opinion](http://www.firefoxflicks.com/flick/index.php?id=19542&c=false) (warning: with sound, but worksafe). ---

I’ve only used it a few times, so just my first reaction is that I like the addition of tabbed browsing (funny that it took MS so long to catch on to that), but not the arrangement of the toolbars, and that it doesn’t appear you can rearrange them.
