The built in sorting and all are fine for feeds lacking a stylesheet, but to override one provided...that is just more Gatesian micro management. Does anybody know how to turn that off and restore an Atom feed's own, linked-to XSLT stylesheet?

After which it's sluggish. So I've stopped using it and gone over to IE7, which is a shame - if Firefox did everything it does, plus just worked smoothly, there'd be no competition. 2. Whoever designed the IE7 GUI is having a giraffe, aren't they? I've been using it months and still have to think about where to find the home, stop and refresh buttons. Absolute rubbish - at least make it customizable so I can stick all my important buttons where I'm used to having them, and where every other browser has them.

It runs on the IE engine, so it's relevant for testing (unlike Opera, or other non-standard browsers). If you must work with IE to test for web standards, like we wedevelopers do, you should ditch the standard IE browser for the AvantBrowser interface instead.

I just had to debug a large scale site that is fully CSS, and I had little trouble with it. My ie7 style sheet has two declarations in it. With IE7, microsoft made the biggest step in cross-browser compatibility by fixing their box model. They've added a good amount of support for common problems and definitely picked their priorities to get a moderately timely release. That said, I'm no fan of the program and it will not replace firefox for me... I just don't think it's the pile of crap that many want to make it out to be. The only feature that I didn't feel was playing catch up is the zoom. So much nicer than trying to build a site based on fluctuating font size.

It's had RSS for quite a long time now, and the latest release has both RSS Subscription and Bookmark sync!!! No matter where you go, you'll have your bookmarks in your browser with you. Not only this, but it has SO many other features, like tabs, Cascade tabbed windows (vertically or horizontally), close all tabs, close all tabs except the current tab, options to save sessions and tabs (or not). You can also see the progress of the loading page right on the tab! To take that further, it supports the Google toolbar, the Web Developer toolbar, and several other add-ons. With Firefox, you have to go around hunting for mediocre extensions to do what comes standard with AvantBrowser. There is a plethora of shortcuts - i.e. Back & Forward with the mouse by holding down one mouse button and clicking the other, or scroll through your tabs with the mouse wheel. It's SO sweet. Finally, nearly everything is customizable, and there's a LOT of options. Want tabs at top or bottom? Fine. You can select which info/records/history you want cleared upon closing the browser/session. I encourage everyone to try it. I've been using it for years.

Remember, the world at large isn't full of Web 2.0 biggots that sit at their screens all day long reading Techcrunch or Valleywag. Personally, I love having RSS in the web browser and not having to load/configure/learn yet-another-stupid-app just for my basic "toolset". Since the RSS reader in IE7 nicely strips all the UGLY formatting of most blogs (have you ever seen Scoblizer in the actual web viewer and not an RSS feed), it's is a welcome productivity aid. Of course, it strips all those obnoxious TechCrunch ads too. Thank you!!! The built-in RSS reader is “good enough” for the vast majority of first-time RSS folks that this enables.

I almost felt like I was the only one thinking this. Although I strongly cheer the Firefox cause on currently Internet Explorer IS more polished. I think it gets out of the way better for user experience and let's the content be featured at center stage ... not the FF isn't an acceptable alternative, but there is room for improvement.
