Nope, this is where you're wrong again. Linux, for the same reason about the lack of a founding corporation, will never replace Windows as the default OS for user terminals. Maybe on servers, but again thats only used by the most technical people in a company.

There is a lot of talk about the safety of a web browser. Would anyone care to define safety in its context here?

"Safety" is how much access websites can get to your computer just by you viewing their page.

As IE supports ActiveX and VB-Script, it makes it highly insecure, as ActiveX and VB-Script has a lot of errors and exploits, which means that people's files can be changed without them knowning it.

@Time; Let's just agree to disagree, aye?

If you ask me, the new version infact does look alot like firefox anyway. I don't like it, i can't stand firefox it was all jumpy on my computer didnt like my scrolly mouse for wateva reason any how, i think i will be sticking to my IE 6. and im normally running to get updates as soon as they come, to me its abit of a let down. :@:@

so true , to increase IE's security they made IE run on its own limited user account!!!!!!!!!

also wtf intergrated rss feeds heard of LIVE BOOKMARKS
search bar in top corner is so a rip off of opera and firefox.

IE's whole new design is a rip off and its wrong.

I don't know if IE7 is more secure than Firefox, haven't tested IE7 yet.
I do know people have tested it's rendering engine and it's as terrible as IE6 :-/. It's not what most people hoped it would be. Once again Microsoft uses it's own standards.

RSS = Really Simple Syndication is xml based and is used to distribute news from newssites, blogs, ... . It can be read with an aggregator like RSSreader.

i havent installed it and i wont because Windows update doesnt work for many 8-)
but changing tabs is supposed to be faster than firefox, so if all you want is tabs i would go for ie7 but only when the final comes out because this beta at least isnt good enough really.
and atm ie7 is obviously more secure than firefox because none of the viruses and spyware written for ie6 work but as soon as ie7 is released it will go back to normal :)
