I went ahead and downloaded and installed Internet Explorer 7 today. The interface seems slicker and there is a lot of add-ons to download and choose from. The best thing though is definitely the tabbed browsing. This is something that Firefox has always done and IE just started with this 7 release.
I always like to have a lot of heterogenous windows open and being able to group all of the IE windows into one is going to be nice so my Taskbar doesn't get too cluttered. So far, the most useful thing seems to be holding Ctrl and clicking a hyperlink. This opens a new tab within the same browser instead of opening a whole new browser or replacing the existing page with the link that was clicked.
All of the new stuff and label locations is going to take a while to get used, but I think it will be worth it. Hey, in the future I can probably look back on this and laugh because MSNBC-Google-McDonald's Internet Explorathon v37 will be the dominating browser :)
