"much more standards compliant" ? Can you quantify that? Web pages that dont look correct in IE6 look equally as incorrect in IE7 - as far as I have seen.
Im my own personal use, I have had more application crashes than IE6. Albeit when using 10+ tabs at a time, but a crash is a crash. In fact, its super $#^Q&*#$ annoying when you are browing multiple pages and hit an iexplorer.exe process memory use of >400mb.
