The question is to upgrade or not to upgrade?

Yahoo mail seems to be pushing toward upgrading and Windows Update seems
to want to install IE7 but from what I hear the latest isn't always the
greatest.

Maybe a little bit off topic for this group but it seems that many of
the posters would probably have some experience with upgrading.



IE7 has some pretty cool features, like you can uninstall it which I did
after 2 weeks. The only benefits that I noticed it had over previous
versions was tabbed browsing and a search bar, but Firefox always had those
and Firefox was always a much better browser.

IE7 also has a Phishing filter which was more of a pain in the ass then
anything.

Yup, and if you had your prior browser set to not ask if you want it to
be the default browser, when install IE7, it does not reset this how
ever, reading your email and clicking on a link which normally takes you
to the browser will then just sit there and do nothing for you.
You have to fish around in IE7 settings and make it the default
browser.. then the click able links in your OL will work.
