Internet Explorer 7 is a half hearted attempt by Microsoft to prevent Firefox from stealing the market. Firefox is a superior browser, in the league with Opera.

Security concerns have been greatly reduced since SP2, even with IE6, and IE7 builds a bit on that, but I still think Firefox is designed in a slightly more secure way.

I'm prefer Firefox, but I acknowledge that Internet Explorer 7 is much better than 6, as it has a better renderer, especially with CSS. That is not to say that Internet Explorer 7 is perfect, far from it, but Internet Explorer 6 hardly supports CSS2.

Internet Explorer 7 beta 3 is now available from the Microsoft Website, but the new changes are mainly around the UI. There is little, if any, functionality change.

Either way stick with either the Gecko or Opera based browsers if you can, and only use IE where it is really necessary.

I find IE is best for me - IE7 looks really good.
