I am confused i thought i downloaded the final version of IE 7 the other day. I just downloaded firefox 2. I noticed in Firefox 2 that games like runescape are much more stable in firefox2 then firefox1. Personally i am a firefox user. If something don't work in firefox i then switch to ie but i love firefox.

Your using the Release candidate version 7.0.5700.6 pureblood, from what I remember
The Final release is still up and coming, I can't see it being much different than what your using right now
But probably some bug fixes
Although I don't use IE all that often, looks like some nice changes
I would Update when final release comes out

P.S. I hope you use the IE View extension in Firefox, makes it easy to switch from firefox to IE

Oh, and thanks for all the News updates Josetann

Hmm, maybe I was wrong Pureblood
I just received the Released IE7 via Windows Updates

If your still running IE7 Release candidate, you can visit windows updates
for the new release
