Let me know when IE7 can do this without me having to do a single thing (after installing one or two Extensions, which I disabled in order to take the first shot) like FF currently does.

Anyone know how to move the top bar of "search" somewhere else? I don't like it sticking right at the top... unchecking lock toolbar doesn't allow that beotch to be moved... Why would MS lock JUST that toolbar at the top?! :P

I still ike IE6 better. The non customizable toolbars made me want to strangle someone. It locked up a couple times and I couldn't browse any sites without a restart. And shack runs like a fat turd for scrollign and even posting. At least it uninstalls easy.

Ever since i first made the switch to Firefox, my browsing happyness has increased tremendously.
Maybe they've made IE better now, but with Firefox providing nearly all the features i need - i see no reason to go back.
