So far I like it...only been using it a couple of hours though.

gaahh!!! it changed default fonts - everything looks all fuzzy now

other than that good so far (had it for like 3 minutes now )

edit: k well, it didnt actually change the fonts, but the text definitely looks different
edit2: looks like its really softened up, i can tell moreso when i zoom in or out

Also control+scroll wheel now just zooms in out out the entire page not just text size

ok, is this me or is anyone else noticing this stupid fuzzy font? because it's giving me a headache, maybe its just a setting that is different on mine... its like having a REALLY old CRT that is dying, and hasnt been cleaned in 8 years

The whole UI looks fuzzy to me. Honestly it just seems rather poorly implemented all-around. Maybe it looks better under Vista, but I'd rather use IE6 save for the improvements they have made in the realm of web standards (which is hardly anything I'm going to get excited about).

aha! my bad - the "clear type" option is on by default in IE7, unchecked it (tools>ie options>advanced) and restarted browser, fixed it

Anyone know how to turn it off in Outlook Express?

I really like the view quick tabs option

Opera 9 will have thumbnails when hovering over tabs:



It will also include widget support, though what these widgets do is unknown at this time. It might be something akin to FF extensions, or ordinary widgets like OSX, Konfabulator or Vista have (though I would see no sense in them only being active if the browser is up, although it is almost all of the time when I'm at the PC).
