:luv: I think I'm falling in love :luv:

I thought I'd never see the day of me coming back to IE. But I think Microsoft has done a good job on this one.

Yes IE7 really is fantastic, I like it over Firefox in a few different areas.

My thoughts exactly, one thing I must pick at though is the fact when you click a link and it opens in a new window, I'd rather have it open a tab.

I also think maybe a few optimisations are needed in the downloading too. Seems to make IE lag quite a bit when downloading a webpage.

I think you can change that.

Well since I aint running a genuine copy of Windows I had to use a WGA cracked version (I can give you think link in PM if anyone needs it :p). But you can download the latest version from the Internet Explorer download page.

I only see an option for popups/links opened by programs.

Why a lock? We're not talking about anything illegal, this is purely for information purposes only, and if no files are provided to the public it's completely legal :p.

Goto Tools > Internet Options

Then click the settings button in the tabs section of the general tab

There is a section called "When a popup is encountered" - pick always open in a new tab.

That's what I use and I never get popups opening in a new window. Always in a new tab.

Ah, I see, it's not entirely obvious is it? I thought that was for actual popups only.

Hmm, that could be cause of XP 32 bit. I can assure you that IE7 on Vista RC2 X64 is blazing. I've tried all kinds of pages that weren't cached and almost everyone loaded instantely.

IE7 was looking a bit nice until Firefox 2 totally trumped it IMO. And firefox 2 will probably see the light of day before IE7 will.

I am using both IE7 RC1 and FF 2 RC 2. I really enjoy both and find they are actually fairly similar.

I used the original FF a while abck and simply didn't like it. I have IE7 now and I think it is much better. I will be using this for some time.

Well there are a ton of things in firefox that IE7 doesn't have, for example the spell checker which actually works well unlike previous spellchecker mods that have existed for both firefox and IE.
