Almost since Microsoft Internet Explorer started to be open to users, I have been using it, for about 7 days. I am not trying to say I love it greatly as you will find later.
IE7 provides many updates compared with old versions.
1. User interface improved. It looks more beautiful than old IEs.
2. Search bar where we can use different search engines, like windows live search (default), google, yahoo, ask, and etc
3. Tab explores. It is useful to open multiple tabs in one window for internet surfers. We can use right mouse key or (Ctrl+T or Ctrl+W)to open or close tabs. Even we can drag tabs to new places.
4. New favorite which integrates favorite, feed and history.
5. RSS support
6. Zoom in/out by the button or Ctrl+mouse wheel
7. Higher securities. (fishing site alert)
8. Compatible with most sites since almost all the sites are optimized for IE explorer.

But still some problems
1. It is often not stable. Frequently I have been seeing my IE7 being closed suddenly. Then all the web pages I opened are gone! It gives me a lot of trouble.

2. Not open source and no many add-ons to be supported. So I can not extend the functions by choosing add-ons. On the contrary, firefox is doing the best in this area.

3. Slow exploring speed

4. A large space needed to install and a large memory to occupy during running


In a word, IE is not good but sometimes we have to use it.
