I downloaded the newest release of Internet Explorer (7.0) this AM. It reminds me a lot of Firefox. Anybody else using it? Your thoughts?

I've been doing support for it since it's release about 2 weeks ago. Personally, I don't particularly like how it looks, and the absence of the file edit view toolbar is annoying (though it can be added, if I remember correctly)

So far, it also seems to be prone to breaking, in conjunction with flash/shockwave/adobe reader. Each of these items may need to be reinstalled after installing IE7, but it varies pc to pc =/

I have it now too. It's okay... still have to get used to looking elsewhere for my favorites, the refresh button, etc. I like the spyware filter.

I'm not sure what I think yet. Like others, I had to get used to different icons in different places (why oh why is "favorites" a yellow star?). But I have what's probably a dumb question.
The new IE doesn't seem to allow my web-based e-mail to show its pop-up "you've got mail" tab except on the e-mail page. (If I can change it back, please let me know :D .) So I've turned on the sound, in order to hear the tone that signals new mail. However, now, from time to time I hear what sounds like thunder or an explosion. :eek: It startles me and scares the cats. But I don't see anything different on the screen when it happens. What is it?
