I will say this, I (am?) was a huge FireFox fan. I still really am. However after beta testing IE7(yes, it's look and appearances mimic FF) I can see myself shifting back to IE7. The one thing, that I really kept an eye out for is Memory! If anyone on this forum disagree's with me, then you haven't paid attention to the amount of RAM that FF sucks up. FireFox is absolutely horrible at memory management. I'm tired of looking at my processes to see that FF is consuming well in excess of 125mb of ram. IE7 thus far has NOT had this problem. And because of this, and other more minor features, I will definately switch to IE7. IE7 has the same features as FF, imo. I will say, that IE7 security is a concern(because of past history) however, I'm willing to take that chance. I see MS, making advances in security, finally, so I'm coming to terms with it.
