I have been using it since its official release - mainly because Microsoft included it in its "critical updates", so it downloaded automatically. The tabbing is OK, but I do not like the new interface (tool bars, and options). I cannot find a way of opening a html file on my hard disk without opening the Windows Explorer and double clicking it. This was very annoying because I had made Firefox my default browser, so I would end up with both browsers running. IE 7 also won't let me uninstall browser add-ons - the Delete button is always greyed out, but I can use the Disable button.

Another gripe is that IE 7 only gives you the option to open a link in a new tab if that link is a favorite. Links embedded in web pages only have the option of open in a new window - unlike Firefox which always gives you both options.
