    I had upgraded to IE 7 and had nothing but problems. It was great for a while, but then nothing but problems shortly after. Ditched IE and went back to good ole Firefox... (aaah, there's no place like home)

    To each their own, but I'm a FF fan. The *real* security improvements involved in IE7 come when it's used on Windows Vista. Using IE7 on XP is not a whole deal more secure than IE6.

    It's a simple advertisement. If that made them a "drone", then they would be "drones" to thousands of companies.

    After upgrade Windows and IE7, I disabled the option to set live as the default search engines. After that if I search in MSN or Live in Firefox browser, most of the time it will be page not found.

    I like FF (version 1.5.something)! Did the new security updates for FF! FF was unable to connect to the internet after that! I was pissed! :(
    Then installed the new version 2.0. It was also unable to connect!

    In the end, I installed 1.5 again and it worked! Still wondering what's the problem with the new version or the security updates!

    Anyone faced similar problem or any suggestions?

    It's just an ad. It's not like they are forcing you...
    If You don't want to switch, then don't.
