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?

You are in luck, Steve. The question has been asked many times before and therefore has many benchmark tests and reviews dedicated entirely to it.
Why Firefox Beats Internet Explorer
Or better yet, see here.
Internet Explorer 7 vs. Firefox 2
To explain briefly, most people prefer Firefox over Internet Explorer because:
1) Its fast.
2) Its efficient.
3) Its secure.
4) Its customizable.
5) Its free (not unlike Internet Explorer 7 where all depends on your passing WGA tests).
6) And lastly because it is not made by Microsoft (this statement alone stimulates most people out there to try it).
Now, I think you are ready to make your own decision.
