Eh, I've gotten pretty used to IE7; enough now that I don't miss it over
IE6. But I will say DO NOT install IE8; the beta of that was horrible and I
had to get rid of it (I was very glad they at least made rolling back fairly
painless!).
FF3 just has too many memory leak issues (these are from die-hard Apple
fans/MS haters who are heavy web browsing-types); not to say IE doesn't, but
if it's not really better...
Does anyone else know about the supposed memory and/or CPU issues with Flash
in IE and other browsers tho? I thought I remembered reading something
about that somewhere...

Subject: Re: [H] IE7 problem
I am interested in this IE7 business also. I have been testing/using IE7
on my XP test machine. After a year of living with IE7, I have to say that
I do not care for its' new format. I get lost quickly trying to drive IE7;
so, I do not do much testing any longer............. :)
My remaining non-FF machines still use IE6sp1(?).
But, during my last 3 XP upgrades I see that MS is leaning harder on
trying to force IE7 installation during the initial WinUpdate
cycle. Scary. Kudos that MS still allows me to NOT install IE7, but I
suspect the time will come that it will be either IE7 or the highway......
:(
My out will be FF3 which I am growing more happy with each day of use; even
with its' own set of small glitches.

This is a very interesting problem. I had something similar, but I ended up
reformatting because of other problems. Anyway, I would be interested in
how
this is solved for future reference.

I've got a machine which has IE7 installed (Help/About says IE7) but when I
go to Windows Update it tells me that the browser I have isn't compatible,
and that I should upgrade from IE5 to either IE6 or IE7. There is no IE7
uninstall in Add/Remove programs, and there is no %windir%\IE7 folder
(there
is a %windir%\IE7updates folder.) Anyone ever see this? I've tried
reinstalling IE7, and it appears to install, but still doesn't work.
