Interesting one, nice to hear from someone who has actually used them both.
The tech support guys at work sent around an email the other day suggesting we don't install IE7, because it apparently breaks our CRM (customer relationship management, i.e. sales) software. Obviously this is a bad thing.
I have heard reports of many websites being displayed incorrectly in IE7, but I've also heard several other people who haven't had such problems.
Of course, those of us who don't run Windows don't get too much of a choice either way :-)

Shocking! Firefox really should know more about old-fashioned, rare-ish forms of flour!
t seems to be very good, and brings up a good list of alternatives to the misspelt words
Like "misspelled" for "misspelt"? "To spell" is a regular weak verb, so you will certainly find "spelt" in the full version of the OED, only it will be noted as an archaism, like spelling "pressed" as "prest". While quite correct, it's therefore officially obsolete, which I disagree with completely. But then I spell mediæval correctly too... I'm glad someone is erring on the side of irregularity and strength - the weak verb is scarily displacing the strong all too quickly at present! Remember: present tense - I sing; preterite - I sang; past participle - sung. It's not complicated!
