Thanks for letting me know about it! I just downloaded it and I'm really liking it so far.

Ok. I feel stupid. How do I have the tabs come up with their own homepages? Someone on here mentioned that you could and I can't figure out how. Someone help!

Next to the "Home" button, is a little arrow that points down. Click that down arrow, and it will allow you to "Add or Change Home Page". Click that, and it will give you three choices, of which one of them is "Add this webpage to your home page tabs". You must be on the page, in the tab, to add it as the home page for that tab. I hope this helps.

There is a downside to this, however. Whenever you hit the "Home" button, regardless of what tab you are on, it will bring each tab back to the home page you have it set on. So, I choose to only have one "Home Page", so I won't have to deal with each tab going back to it's home page, whenever you hit the "Home" button. Now, if there's a way around this, please, someone, fill us in.

Does Internet Explorer 7 works on either Windows 2000 or XP? I have Windows XP, but I've never download IE 7 yet. I still have Firefox and Internet Explorer 6.

It will work with either. I had Internet Explorer 6, before I updated to this, much improved Internet Explorer 7!

Tried it out, it’s okay I guess. I’ll be sticking with Firefox though.

This thing now officially loses any good points I may've given it in the past. It didn't particularly impress me from the beginning, but the tabbed browsing was at least better than seperate windows (disabling tabbed and using seperate windows in IE7 seems to freeze it up, anyway; so it's not like I have a choice). However now, around a week after installing it, my computer has slowed right down. IE7 refuses to operate if I'm also doing stuff in certain other programs... programs that IE6 had no problem with. After first getting into windows and trying to open IE7, it takes nearly 2 minutes to open, and even then it takes another couple minutes to stop lagging and temporarily freezing (unless I walk away from the computer for about 10 minutes and come back, in which case it starts to goes fairly smoothly from there). Absolutely nothing else has been installed on my computer since, so I can only assume it's this browser.

All in all, I"m not impressed. I'll be doing a format tonight to wipe this garbage off... I'll likely wait 'til Vista comes out to even bother trying IE7 again.

I'm sorry to hear about your problems, TM2-Megatron. Mine seems to be working just fine, with no slow down.

Every system has its own unique hardware/software combinations and would react a bit differently, I guess. For me, IE7 is worthless. Perhaps it doesn't like running with Norton Internet Security 2007, which came out a week or so before IE7 did. NIS '07 changed the structure pretty drastically from what it's been the past many years; and IE7 changed a lot from previous versions of IE, as well. IE6 & NIS '07 ran faster than any security software suite I'd tried within memory. I don't know if "upgrading" to IE7 did it, but it's the only thing I can think that's changed on the computer recently.
