I'm very happy with it. give it a try and if you don't like it simply remove it through add / remove programs. Listed as Windows Internet Explorer 7 IE7 has a nice print preview as well as some other security upgrades. In favorites it will also keep the favicons if a particular site has one.
Nothing to lose. Good luck :)

IE7 has had mixed reviews. Some think it works great and report no issues. Others have had program conflicts and unexplained issues after downloading it. I've had several customers that have called after it was installed thru Windows Update and reported "strange stuff happening with my computer". They Remove IE7 and the strange stuff disappears. Your choice to try it, just be prepared for possible issues. If any develop, I'd remove IE7 and let IE6 take over again, Just keep that in mind.

Research the software you are using for compatibility issues. If you are using Quickbooks, do NOT upgrade till you upgrade to Quickbooks 2007.
