I use IE 7 when I visit a IE-only site, but for the most part, I use FF. no matter what the heck Bill Gates and Microsoft do to IE, i'm sticking with Mozilla.

Never used IE, always use FF.

Personally what I feel is that IE sucks...(atleast IE6).

Hell, even Avant Browser is better than IE.

I found IE7 layout too complex. FF is simple and really better. I switched back to IE6 since i switched back to winxp_sp2. one thing to clear that FF was never my default browser....but still i use FF.

How can you say this? You've never used it so what is your opinion worth?

I haven't upgraded to IE7 yet (downloading now), but FF is my browser of choice, with IE available for the few times it does things better (such as not garbling downloaded file names).

I thought you would understand seeing the name of the topic
"New Firefox v/s New IE"

I have never used, wait, not even seen the new IE7. Used IE6 a long time back (when it was introduced) but then after Firefox started to catch up have been using Firefox, Opera etc.

I think IE7 can only be installed on genuine Windows machines. Wonder why such a important upgrade isnt given free. There are a lot of pirated copies out there.

I read about this a few weeks ago, in the words of Microsoft (paraphrased): "All Windows users will be able to download security patches and service packs no matter the authenticity of their Windows software, while premium downloads such as IE7 will not be authorized to illegal versions."

Why this is exactly I don't know. Perhaps as punishment ? :rolleyes:
