FF2 was already faster then IE7 on my machine. Now IE7 is just a pathetic pig in rendering web pages next to FF3. And that is with the phishing filter off on IE7. With the phishing filter on in IE7 its so slow that's it is not even worth the bother. This is the first final version application that I have ever used that really appears to be a finished product. I can't see how any body can complain about such a high quality product that is free to boot.

Installation was a breeze and it installed over FF2 without a hitch keeping all my bookmarks etc.. Highly recommended to anyone sitting on the fence. I immediately installed this on my older desktop running XP Pro and so far no problems on that machine as well.

I think this is going to force MS to actually write some lean code to speed up IE. MS has been so lazy in coding these days and everything they write is total bloatware. If you told MS to write something like FF3 and to keep it to under 8 megs in size they would probably admit that it's not possible. I am from the old school of thought being that the best software is generally lean and small in total file size. Something MS has drifted away from with vista is a big way.
