I’ve pointed out font problems that I encountered myself, but the real sticker is that IE7 doesn’t feel sleek, new, or awesome. It’s better than IE6, but it still lags way behind firefox in terms of general usefullness. Why are people going to use Microsoft’s browser when it doesn’t perform better than Firefox?

I’m shocked with how good it looks. ” IE doesn’t properly antialias its fonts like Firefox does”

Who cares???!!!! If it looks better, obviously it was done INCORRECTLY for a REASON.

IE7 looks better than FF hands down.

According to Symantec FF was in front of IE most of 2005, when it comes to security-holes … talking about ‘track record’ :)
