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.
Stella
Stella, I do not use IE. I posted this only to offer information to the NG
member who use it and may want to look into the upgrade.
Yes it is beta, as anyone going to the link I provided details.
Jeesh! Wake up on the wrong side of the bed this morning?
