4tehwin!  Been using it for a day or so now, tis good...so far

I went back to Internet Explorer for a few months after upgrading to Vista and reconfirmed to myself that its is as slow as I remember

TBH I find IE7 just as good, if not better and, dare I say, faster than FF3.  I use both equally, mainly because work as altered our IE7 so it uses their settings only (like only 1 days history, fixed homepage, etc...)

Maybe it's just my uber fast machine bridging the gap...

I don't see the difference

It's meant to be a lot faster than it was (which is important because the old one was right slow in my experience).

Unless it now anti-alias's the fonts and actually uses the icc profiles embedded in jpegs I'm sticking with Safari (which does both those things).

Nut for Windows users, come on, anything is better than IE!!!

yeah pretty cool as well.

Just noticed another cool thing about cooliris.  Once you've got it open, and you hover over links in the main page, the iris updates and shows you that link.  No need to keep closing the iris.  Good for quick looks at forum threads.

Just how quickly the page loads...never timed it.  Most people may not notice but I guess I'm impatient when waiting for the porn page to load.
