i like the idea, lemme know how it turns out, but i'm used to the features on IE7. i wish they'd release ie8 soon (maybe to work with vista or something)

I used it and didn't really like it. Had a bunch of little annoyances I didn't like. Visually it was nice, all the sites I went to looked great, they all loaded just fine as well. However it didn't seem much different than Firefox to me, especially with the way I have it setup. Expanding Safari fullscreen made it so I couldn't move my cursor to the bottom of the screen to bring up my start bar. It didn't seem to support my mouse (probably doesn't support any 5 button mouse) and I couldn't use my page forward/back buttons. It seemed to be a little faster than Firefox, but not enough to really be noticable. Besides I've never really liked the look of iTunes/Quicktime/Apple programs.

I'll pass and stick with Firefox.

IE7 is a virus in browser format, Microsoft can monitor any and all of your activity on it at anygiven time and there nothing you can do about it other then use a different browser... same goes with Windows Vista
