IE7 Beta is just a FF clone
Although I am a diehard Firefox user, I decided to download the latest beta of IE7 to see if there was anything to it. One of my MSFT-lovin' friends keep claiming it's the best. Could he actually be right?
After looking at it for a few minutes, I just didn't really see anything worth switching back for. They've added tabbed browsing and an RSS sidebar -- two things I have been using in Firefox for years.
Because we often need to test our web apps in various browsers, I will keep it installed on my office PC; however, I don't see a need to install it at home.
