Default New versions of Internet Explorer & Firefox available
IE V7.0: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/default.mspx
Firefox: http://www.firefox.com

Both noticably improved (am actually preferring IE's tabbed browsing to Firefox's).

Ah, typical. No support for Windows 2000.

Then again, it is about 7 or so years old now, but still a hell of a lot nicer to use than XP.

EDIT: Wow, Firefox 2.0 is very disappointing. I lost all my bookmarks, and the tabbing system doesn't seem to work that well (It wouldn't let me close a tab that didn't have a webpage loaded on it).

Luckily I reverted back to v1.5.0.7 and got all my stuff back. I think I will be avoiding this update for quite a while.

Please explain how you prefer the tabbed browsing in IE7, when you can completely customise Firefox, and have all your tabs restired even after an OS crash.

I download IE 7, and it's pretty damn cool. I can see the tabs being handy when I get used to them.

How? Mine doesn't do that although I seem to remember it used to... It's been annoying me for a while.

Just downloaded the new Firefox, it's kept everything from the old one. Just looks a bit different.

I've been using Firefox for almost two years I think, the thing I liked the most about it was the tabbed browsing and the abilty to customise. Looks like IE7 is trying to get some of their customers back.

I might try out IE7 sometime, but I think I'll just stick with Firefox for now.
