lol dont ask me i only ever used firefox for a day and i cant really remember there being a gap either. but people at neowin have been saying that ie7 renders the page faster when you change tabs how knows??
btw i hope no one is taking this as what the final product will be like, im expecting the rss feature to be hugely improved and for you to be able to move the toolbars hopefully

Can't check Yahoo mail with it at the mo either... lol

Digging through the Advanced options in IE7, there will be support for themeing, Browser Extensions, and a LOT more.  This release wasnt public for the very reason you all are cutting it down...This release is simply for Developers and IT Professionals.  In fact, IE7 is going to comply with the CSS2 standard, Beta 1 does not yet however, for the reason that its an unfinished product.

And based on the amounts of people that want the Menu back where it was in IE6, it's probably going to move back there.

umm mind telling me which part of advanced options mentions theming cos i sure cant find it

EDIT: and by extensions (assuming im looking at the same part as you) they mean just the same as IE6, toolbars

I belive its way too mutch like mozzila but still it's nice but you still can t beat mozzila I shall never change browsers...

IE7 when in Beta 2 Stege will be for the Public as Noted on neowin.net

wtf ok I'm really confused here tab switching speed is related to the speed of your computer and tab switching is instant for me in firefox , opera so I'm not really sure how it can be faster then instant , maby it guesses what sites to load and loads them before i even click on them lol!

if you remember AOL took MS to court awhile ago now, maybe last year, AOL Sued MS, ( for what reason i cant remember ) but MS Paid AOL $500,Mill  or some figure like that,  cookie might remember i dont know, but i think or some feel AOL sold out to MS  an thats why NS8 now has both rendering endines Gecko an trident so its a Win for AOL an MS, but calling it a Rip off, i dont know as i havent used the browser an dont intend to till Beta2 is out,
