I don´t see it here as much faster. Even disabling the Phishing Monitor ( is
that it´s name? ), it seems to take a lot of time to start displaying sites,
when IE6 just shows them in much less time.

I don't agree. IE 7 is much faster, more stable and much more standards
compliant. It's a much better browser overall. The real crime is IE 6 was
left out there without any real update for so long. As for compatibility, if
MS doesn't force people's hands, no one will ever update.
Yes, the interface out of the box on IE 7 is quite different, but it takes
one menu click to enable the menu bar and then you pretty much have IE 6.
Never open a tab and you do have IE 6. For me IE 7 is a vast improvement -
tabs alone are worth the price of admission.
This is one where I am sympathetic with MS. Maybe IE 7 and Firefox both will
motivate people to finally write portable web sites.
Hey, I can dream....
