IE7 Arrives

The final version of Internet Explorer 7 has arrived, finally out of beta. If you’ve hesitated to try IE7 because of the "beta" label, you can now download the "official" working version. The question is, will you? By now, anyone who wanted the extra features that IE7 provides (tabbed browsing, RSS support, built-in search options, security features, improved UI, etc.) has probably already moved on to another browser like Firefox or Opera or Flock. I felt that the IE7 beta was a resource hog; if I used the multiple homepage feature, it took forever to load compared with Firefox. After playing with the IE7 beta for a while, I ended up uninstalling it. I’m fine with Firefox as my main browser and IE6 for the rare sites that are only coded for IE.
