So, I'm confused. What is supposed to be the benefit of a "new and improved IE" if it doesn't work with the sites that you need to access on a daily basis?

I shied away from the beta and rc versions. The final release should be okay, right! NOT!! After installing it and opening it the first time I noticed how slow it opened my home page, but figured it was doing some initialization routines behind the scenes. I opened a new tab and went to another page I use frequently only to find it wouldn't work with ie7 and I received a notice to download ie5.5 or ie6 to proceed. So I closed that and opened another site. Before the site was fully displayed ie7 was locked up. It wouldn't close the tab and I had to force close the whole app. I tried again, it opened with my default home page and again was very slow displaying the whole page. I opened a new tab and went to another site which opened ok, again slowly. Within a few minutes ie was locked up again. Force closed and let's try one more time. (I guess I'm a glutton for punishment)! Again it opened my default page slowly. I opened a new tab and then tried to close it and it wouldn't close, mistakenly clicked the new tab button and now I had 3 tabs open. I tried closing the 2 additional tabs and they wouldn't close and I ended up opening another. None of the tabs would close and ie wouldn't even force close, so I had to use the old standby, reboot. Did that and uninstalled ie7 and I'm back to ie6 once again. I won't be travelling down that road again anytime soon. What a POS, to be a final release. In my mind this product is still a beta!
