Hi Mike.
You can download IE7 from M$ or a lot of places, Internet
Explorer 7.0.5730.13. I downloaded IE7.0 and burnt it to a CD for future installs.
The cool thing about IE7.0 is the icons that show in your Favourites after you use
them. Its a quick reference rather than reading each link.
The only thing I don't like about it is the Address bar is at the top when previous
versions of IE have all been at the bottom.
As for the tabs IE6.0 onwards has tabs, just don't use them if you don't like them.
I like them for the fact that WinXP stacks apps up vertically in the taskbar, that
something I hate about WinXP. With the tabs you can have as many sites open as you
want too without increasing the number of apps in the taskbar.
After you install IE7.0 and you find you don't like it. Just goto Control Panel -
Add/Remove and uninstall IE7.0 and that will put back IE6.0 for you.
Plus I use the Yahoo toolbar so I can make my own button for regular sites, I could
do that with IE6.0 as well.
