The final version is ready for download. So if anyone is interested here it is.

I' m installing it and I' ll compare it with firefox and IE6 in a week or so.

Yea, its nothing special. They' ve just introduced the tab system thats all. On the surface anyway. I' m still getting used to the new placement of various buttons like home and favourites etc.

Oh and they' ve changed the ' e' to have a yellow streak through it.

Firefox 2 is out as well. What do firefox and IE have in common? They both just keep copying features from Opera.

I am excited that IE7 came out though. Finally IE supports transparent png picture files. Soon it will become a critical windows update and I don' t need to worry about IE nubs viewing my web site.

I don' t like the new GUI for IE7 but otherwise it is alright. Firefox 2 is better than IE7 but Opera is still the best.
