I've just upgraded (again) to IE7 from IE6. I just don't like the look of IE7 - i.e. the layout. I also miss the tab to click on email as I always read them using this method. Yes I know they can be added, but doesn't seem "right" - unless I did it wring.

My question(s) Is there much difference between 6 & 7 (I assume it is better but how & why)

Can I make IE7 look like IE6 - if so how? (traditional look) and especially can I have the email icon more prominent?

Finally, I note a lot of people at work and on various forums prefer Firefox. When I ask them they all say it is better - though nobody can ever elaborate why. I suspect it is merely an anti-Microsoft stance, but I don't know. Anyone care to give a brief overview of pro's and cons?

Thanks

Steve
