Anyone download it yet? Looks promising you can download it herehttp://www.microsoft.com/windows/IE ... irect.mspx, im dling it as im typing right now. From the reviews, it looks pretty promising. Its just mainly stolen ideas from firefox and opera.

Why use a second-rate web browser that is adding features to make it more like firefox when you can just run firefox in the first place? (Firefox was updated the other day btw).

firefox is great and is extremely customizable (something that a corporation as stuck-up as microsoft'll never understand)! But it does have some minor bugs cos IE monopoly over the years has dictated terms to which all software developers have had to adhere to. Given time Firefox'll sort everything out. But i still am trying this ver of IE jus for the heck of it...

(Java is a fat b**ch that f**k your trip man!!!) Too heavy too heavy on my sys :(

There are also numerous versions of firefox that are optimized for different processors and such. These builds are usually titled "DeerPark"

not really... firefox is a out of the box package man. you dont have to setup anything. the best part is from the first few minutes you will realize how its doing most things for you... you really should try it anyways...
