I switched back to IE7. I like the interface personally. It does crash though. So does Firefox sometimes. Are you Firefox lovers seriously trying to say you've never seen the "FireFox crashed last time you were using it, would you like me to reopen the tabs that were open when it happned" type message? Seriously? You've never seen that? I've seen it many times. And I don't use those fucking addons. I don't even run shit on my computer. I'm the most anal-retentive person I know for keeping my computer free of shit programs because I'd much rather have preformance than a stupid "feature" or a thing that tells me if it is sunny outside.
I like how when you open your bookmarks in IE7 you can choose to either view the website in your current tab or open it in a new tab. I pick 5 of 6 sites I want to see and just open them all in new tabs. They load while I'm reading my email or whatever. It's great.
As some other people already hinted it, websites look/work better in IE7 anyway. For every webdesigner you show me who is designing and testing his website for FireFox, I could show you, oh, maybe 500 that are working on the assumption that you are using IE7, or a previous version of IE. That's the same reason why almost all of us are using Windows.
It's not like the guys who make FireFox help old ladies cross the street and Microsoft boys try to run 'em down with their Bentleys or whatever. Nobody likes a monopoly, I'll grant you that. So if you want to buy a Mac (Apple has a total monoply over their shit compared to MS, it's just a much smaller sandbox, but whatever) or use Firefox, go ahead. But it isn't leaps and bounds "better".
Oh, also, IE doesn't seem to crash your whole system when it goes down. I think it used to do that right? It hasn't done that to me with IE7. Remember how your task bar and everything would just disapear I think because "explorer" crashes along with the browser or whatever. I don't think thats a problem anymore.
