Stole this from a computer forum I frequent:


New Interface
Say goodbye to bulky toolbars. Internet Explorer 7 has a new interface that
shows more of each webpage you visit. The streamlined toolbar makes it
easier to add websites to your Favorites, search the web, clear your
history, and access the other tasks and tools you use most.

Tabbed Browsing
Whether you're searching the web, comparing prices, or just staying on top
of your favorite topic, Internet Explorer 7 lets you view many different
websites at one time - all within one organized window.

Search
Internet Explorer 7 brings your favorite web search providers to you. With
the built-in search box, you can search the web at any time without having
to open a search provider page. You can display search results in a separate
tab, and then open the results in other tabs to quickly compare sites and
find the information you want. You can even customize your search by setting
your favorite search provider as the default.

RSS Feeds
Don't waste time checking many different sites and blogs for updates. Just
select the sites or topics you care about and Internet Explorer 7 delivers
all the new headlines and updates to your Favorites Center.

Security
Internet Explorer 7 helps keep your information safe by alerting you to
potential phishing sites - sites that look legitimate but actually are
designed to capture your personal information. It's also easier to see which
sites provide secure data exchange, so you can shop and bank online with
confidence.

WoW!
Tabbed browsing, RSS feeds, a built-in search box, and better security!
That's worth switching from Firefox or Opera for!

Hey Jim, you forgot to mention that it still in beta. Reports I have
read say it still quite buggy, although nice and snappy at loading pages.

ALthough, honestly, with Microsoft stuff, how can you tell if it is
out-of-beta? a)Because there are no more bugs? b) No more security
holes? c)Because Microsoft says it's finished?

If you chose C move to the head of the line.
