I've been running the released version of Internet Explorer 7 since it was released, and I downloaded Firefox 2.0 yesterday. If IE 7 had blown me away, I was going to de-install Firefox. I've used Firefox since its early days, due to its speed and tabbed UI. But I keep IE around because some sites don't work well -- or even function -- with Firefox. I was amenable to going back to IE because I find it a bit of a pain to switch back and forth.
But, unfortunately, while IE 7 certainly got into the general ballpark of Firefox, it didn't blow by it. And, at least for me, IE 7 loads incredibly slowly, while Firefox 2.0 got even zippier. So I'll continue to lead a schizophrenic existence. (I'm still futzing around with which Firefox theme to use -- I used Qute in the past, but it doesn't work with 2.0. The theme Mostly Crystal leads at the moment.)
Hey there Guy, this is Peter Gurevich, the performance PM for IE7. Nice to meet you. I would love to better understand what you are experiencing and see if I can offer some suggestion. Can you contact me? I would really appreciate it.
