I could - if I was asking about Firefox. There are a few threads on that subject already.

I have been using the Beta Version for about 6 months so far John and i have had no problems what so ever with it, on both my desk top and Laptop.
the only issue i have has is when some site varify the browsers, because V7 is BETA they dont allow it to opperate. this has only happened on about 4 sites in 6 months

Watch it, IE 7 already has a vurnerability tagged to it if Outlook Express is installed also. The whole "Security" that IE 7 is to bring around isn't overall that impressive.

Also in the enterprise world its breaking apps left and right. Personally we are not even adding support for it until Feburary since thats how much recoding is going to need to be done. If you use dedicated web apps for stuff its rolling the dice so far as to if they work correctly or not.

I've upgraded 3 of my 5 machines with it. No problems really except getting used to the UI. Then it's pretty intuitive. Only reason I've not done the other 2 is one is a P3 box just for BiTorrents and IRC chat. The 5th box is a linux file server.

One machine with Firefox, another with IE7, and I have to admit that I'm sorely tempted to move to IE7 completely. Typically it's small fry stuff that tends to influence my decisions in these matters, and I really appreciate things like the close button on each tab and the url indicator for pop-ups – YMMV, of course.

As for compatibility – no issues to date, not even in the corporate environment, although I'm not so naïve as to delude myself that this will always be the case.

Just my two cents.

There have been various instances in the past where vulnerabilities in other applications have impacted the browser (irrespective of whether it was IE, Firefox, or Opera). A prime example would be the WMF issue that arose toward the end of last year. Although it was originally cited as an IE bug, it turned out to affected all browsers, as it associated with a completely different component.

The current issue seems to be associated with Oulook Express, and not IE7. Basically, the browser is passing a request over to OE, so far so good, but then OE seems to mess things up. Truth be told, I don't really see IE7 at fault here, as I don't its security model to take care of things that happen after it has correctly passed something along.

Nowadays, security in PCs cannot be lain down at the feet of a browser anyway, or an operating system for that matter. It requires the system to be updated regularly, the use of some sort of firewall, and anti-virus software.

I had the beta of IE 7 several months ago. I ended up getting rid of it because my version of McAfee antivirus didn't like it. It wouldn't show the correct windows, or buttons, etc.............
I may update and try it again, but for now, i'm on Firefox 2.0 for nearly everything....

I've been using the Beta version for a few months. I did have some compatability issues with Adobe Acrobat with saving PDF files and a few issues with some graphics software and Quicken 2006. These were all in the Beta version. I upgraded to the full release a couple of days ago and haven't had any issues yet.
