I've tried it and it's crap. Utter crap, I tell you. Damn scum re-installs Windows Messenger, although I had deinstalled it. Tabs are of that awful FF/Mozilla/Netscape variety where you cannot decide globally whether to open pages in tabs or in windows, but only on case by case basis. See Opera, people. And the order of tabbing through them appears to be only from the first-opened to the last opened. Again, see Opera. The anti-phishing filter contacts Microsoft where it rootles in a list of reported phishing sites. I waited for five minutes for Microsoft.com to check whether Microsoft.com is a reported phishing site, got fed up and stopped it. Since they write such things down, I didn't want to try with another site, in case of snafus. The advertised Page Zoom is broken because by increasing the size of the page, the content goes outside the window and you have to scroll. Unlike Opera and Firefox which decently reorder text on the page. The only good things are eye-candy. That quick view of tabs that show all tabbed pages as thumbnails on a page. And RSS feed showing items as a page with links and accompanying tuhmbnailed images. Oh, yeah, they appear to have fixed printing, so the page is shrunk to fit the paper width. But everything is small then. And pressing Ctrl-P on the Microsoft index page turned their flash animation upside down and mirrored it. On screen. Nice going. I had to reload to turn it right. BTW, drac, you have to unlock the toolbars to arrange them. Idiots. And I hate the fact that you don't have menus by default. Besides, Nevanna, those sites my break again, because IE 7 bypasses the usual IE hacks.
