Internet Explorer 7 for Windows XP

I installed IE7 past few days, and been using it ever since. I love the simple interface, polished look, very stylish and at the same time, it`s very simple and user friendly. It has only two visible buttons on the interface and an adress bar. That`s all, and frankly, this is all that i need. I don`t need all those buttons from opera, nor those millions of add-ons of firefox, i don`t care about the weather when i`m surfing the net, nor the news. If i wanna see the weather, read the news, listen to mp3, i can start the software with one click, don`t need all those crazy buttons and widgets hovering in my browser, taking up precious place.

IE7 uses extremly few resources. THe web pages load and scroll very easily. Compared to Opera, wich many times, after having 6-7 opened tabs uses 80MB of ram, and 20% of CPU, that can be felt, even on my 3.8GHZ dual core, 1gb ddr2 , 8600 gt machine, IR7 seams light as a feather.

Compared to Firefox, wich i never liked for some reason, it still uses fewer resources, but loads pages even faster, and handles all pages good, and Thank God, the download window is still the IE styled little window that just pops in and out. One thing i hated in FIrefox, was the fact that for every download, even a few kb download of a picture, it showed you a progress bar, in a separate "Download" window, wich i found completly useless.

The multi-tabbing in IE7 is easy, it also features a "TAB overview" little button near the tabs, that shows you in a window, all the tabs opened, in thumbnails, just like opera`s fast navigation.

Overall, IE7 is an extremly pleasent, very nice looking browser, with an extremly simple and user friendly interface, that uses very little resources, it feels light as a feather. I`m loving it.
Also, it has the option to RESTORE A SESSION when you close it. If you are tired to click on the option every time you close your browser, there is a little application called IEPlus, that will restore the session every time you reopen your browser, making things even easire, even after a crash.
