If you want tab browsing and the extras and want to use IE as the heart of your browser, than get the latest version of Maxthon.
I tried a beta version of IE7 that was a legit download I found on a site through a link from another site, I think the link was on Lockergnome.
I found it poorly set up as far as tool bar placement was concerned and slow. When I uninstalled the program in favor of Maxthon, I lost all use of IE6 even though I could use Maxthon. Took a while but through the sfc function of winxp I was able to get IE6 back.
I have no intention of trying IE7 again. I will stay with Firefox 1.5 RC until the official version comes out and use Maxthon only when less freindly sites force me to.

Not really. Maxthon uses the IE core. It is just a better interface. I prefer Foxfire for security.
