Update to IE 7

Now my office computer has Internet Explorer 7. Here's my initial thoughts:

• It seems more stable
• I love the tabs feature a la FireFox
• It seems faster than IE 6
• So far, it plays nicely with major online services
• The look is different
• You have to lock the toolbars to get your links to stay - and I have multiple folders under the generic Links folder
• I haven't found a way to add ixQuick to my list of search engines for the tiny drop down in the upper right corner
• I really like the new print - haven't had any problems with cut off text on right side yet

That's all for now.
