It looks like Internet Explorer 7 is out, and it's at Yahoo...

Since 44.62% of Photics.com visitors use Firefox, how important is IE7 to you?

Personally, I like the new version of Internet Explorer, but I might be switching to Firefox as my main web browser. Spell check is on the way for Firefox 2.0, and that's just awesome!

What do you think of the next generation of the browser wars?

I believe Microsoft is also pushing IE7 out through the Automatic Updates.

I don't plan on upgrading from IE6, as I only use it when a site won't load in Firefox. I've been using Firefox since the v0.2 days, back when it was called Phoenix (later to be renamed to Firebird, then Firefox), and I have no desire to stop using it now, especially with 2.0 hopefully arriving this month.

IE can drop off the face of the earth as far as I'm concerned..

Between Microsoft and Electrinic Arts, they own the majority of the worst written programs ever published.. and yet they make the most money.. weird how that works.

The new version of Firefox sounds promising. It fixes some issues I've run into a few times (i.e. too many tabs open); resumed browsing sounds neat and spell check is an awesome idea

I'm glad to see you're a possible convert Photics! I assure you, it's for the best.
