    Simple question: is it worth it downloading IE7, as opposed to keeping IE6?

    And I'd appreciate it if you STFU about Firefox, I have my reasons.

          Second'd. There's no good reason to download IE7 rather than FF.

            stfu, firefox *****es.

            It's worth downloading, it's a lot slicker looking, lot more space with the toolbars at the top, and tabs are a lifesaver. Get it.

              On behalf of all the web designers and developers in the world, I'd ask that you please upgrade to IE7 if you are currently using IE6. It is more compliant with web standards (though still far from Firefox, Opera, and Safari) in addition to all the other nice new user-centric features it offers.

                ^ Yeah, I noticed that too when I was stil working on the fansite thingy.

                And IE7 is worth upgradeing to. I honestly dislike FF. The downloader thingy has screwed up many files that I have downloaded through FF, and the only real bonus from it, is better customizability, and better web standard compliance.
                I prefer IE's layout and look over FF's. The only thing I used FF for origionally anyway, was for watching youtube videos, but for some reason, IE7 started working for that as well.

                  IE7 is much better. I automaticlly got it when I got Vista. I just use it for e-mail, cause that's what it opens in.
                  Get Opera.

                    You know what, I stopped using FF when I noticed that IE7 basicly does everything I want out of a web broswer.

                      Thanks guys, I'm glad to see most people actually gave me an answer, as opposed to going all FF evangelist on me.
