I will stay with Firefox.

Actually I hope IE7 blows Firefox out of the water.

Internet explorer always seemingly worked perfectly well for me, so IE7 will be a good upgrade to my existing system.

Why? Is FFx harbouring WMD's

@ WMD's

Actually I hope IE7 blows Firefox out of the water.

I seriously doubt that will happen. I don't believe for a minute that MS had any interest in improving their browser until Firefox forced their hand. MS has the talent and resources to produce some real quality programs when they want to. It just seems they don't want to until someone start stealing their market share.

I will stay with Firefox.

So will I, unless Kona gets his wish.

Kona, I thought you were running on Fedora Core, how are you going to run IE on that?

I ditched Fedora Core in favor of XP - just until I learn more about Linux!

I think it's great if IE can improve. I use Firefox 99%, but should it fail for any reason, or should I need IE to access a particular site, I want it to be the best IE they can produce.

I'll stick with Firefox unless somethings better, screw the name, if IE is better I'll switch back to it, if a random new browser comes out that is better than the other choices we have, I'll use it. I have high hopes for upcoming programs and features.

Well, IE7 won't blow FF out of the water. For one, IE7 will only work on XP SP2. I wonder what the stats are right now, but I am pretty sure most Windows users still use pre-XP versions. I personally know a lot of people still using 98, ME and Win2k. Firefox runs on anything (Windows 98, ME, Win2K, XP, Linux, Mac OSX...). I suspect some of these users may switch to Firefox when they see that they can't get an upgrade for IE.

I'm glad it will finally support pngs correctly, and their transperency.

Your pointing in my direction I know!!!

I think it was more an 'I hope' rather than an 'I think it will happen.'

Ill stick with IE...No problems with spyware etc. here...Then again, I know how to browse safely.

Paxx said "I am pretty sure most Windows users still use pre-XP versions." I would disagree. Windows accounts for over 90% of the desktop market. Most people who have bought a Windows PC from a major manufacturer since 2001 are running XP. And I would guess that most of those have upgraded to SP2.

I tried to find a breakdown of PC users by OS. I coldn't find a current one. Maybe someone will be better at research....
It would be an interesting stat.

I have no reason to upgrade... im still using win2k

i don't see what they're getting at. if they are competing with firefox, don't you think they would want to make a browser BETTER than ff and not the SAME as ff. And it won't even be that good. they say added security but nobody really know what exactly they do. as far as I'm concerned, the so-called "security" won't see much of a change if any. Its still integrated with windows (if not more) so there will always be a risk to your system if ie fails. I hate to tell them, but they're gonna need something majorly out of this world and way better if they expect anyone to switch back.

and they still don't have rss streams.
