IE7 and Google

[jensen]

Just downloaded the IE7 yesterday. It looks like FireFox's ideas been used here too. I like the way the fonts look on IE7, seems sharper.

Anyway, something interesting happened when I visited google with IE7. IE7 has this seach box built into the browser and it is using MSN search. So when on google, a pop up appears that says, "Make Google the search engine on IE7"

How original.

I just downloaded IE7 today, and I noticed that box too. I immediately installed the Google search bar because I can't stand MSN search for some reason, and Google always seems to load much faster for me. IE7 isn't as good as I thought, but well worth the upgrade just because the program itself loads much faster and because of the tabbed browsing.

Yes, it is "Beta 2", but it is fully useable (I now have it installed on my desktop and my laptop). I think it is a worthwhile upgrade for those who occasionally use IE (I usually only use IE for online shopping and visiting Microsoft.com).
