Hello,

I am running it for corporate applications. I use Opera and Firefox for everything else.

IE7 on Windows XP or Windows Server 2003 doesn't offer the "sandbox" mode which Windows Vista runs IE7 in by default. However, it does supposedly offer better security than IE6. Then again, anything does.

It has incremental improvements in graphics (better PNG support) and security (anti-phishing technology).

However, unless you're like me and have to run corporate apps on Windows with IE due to functionality issues, it's better to just run Opera 9 or Firefox 2.0 instead. I run those two instead of IE for my non-work browsing.

THanks,

Mitch
