At the moment there is no link on Microsoft.com, but Yahoo has the final build bundled with Yahoo Mail. All you need to do is download the Yahoo edition and use WinRAR to extract the files and run IE7-Setup.exe

Performance wise it is sluggish compared to firefox, maybe it is the settings that needs to be changed.

Not really user friendly, maybe im not used to it, but where the heck is the STOP button, i can't seem to find it, or ESC key is the trend now?

you still use stop button one meh? ESC key so convenient mah...hehehehe

the stop button is at the end of the address bar. hard to find, but easy to use once you get used to it.
Layout is good, and it's actually faster than Firefox for me. It would have been my default browser if not for Opera's mouse gesture. A good backup browser IMHO. I can now finally uninstall FF

how do move address bar to second line , same with old ie6 ?

On the contrary, its so much faster than previous build, or my connection is suddenly just too good?. I'll know soon enough in due time.

do i need to update my IE? i alwiz love opera but the default internet browser in my PC is still IE bcoz opera cant open yahoo mail directly from yahoo messenger

i am not saying page loading, but it is more resource hog than firefox, selecting multi tabs and it will pause for like 1 sec or slightly less.

I don't have that problem..

I used it and so far..its much much better than IE6.
IE7 now loads faster, loads with less errors, easy tab function and quick tab feature. The only thing i didnt like was the Cleartype(tm) which can be turned off. Well..of course its more resource hungry than IE6 because it now looks better and has more features but honestly i dont feel any slow downs with my system. Still loads as fast as before.
