ie7

Most of the features are picked up from Mozilla and hence, they are nice. However, some problems prevail:
1. IE crashes a whole lot more when compared with Mozilla - that's annoying especially while you are composing that web-based email or making that entry into the blog.

2. IE still has ActiveX - something which I consider as a big threat.

3. The tab-closing X is at the window tab itself - this is not good as per usability as the tab can be closed without it being highlighted and lead to potential loss of information on that window by accident.

Seems like the folks in Redmond have some more miles to walk before their products come close to those created by the open-source folks.
