Hey there,

Its good to see more sites out there speading the word about IE7 RC1. I downloaded it last night and installed it... and it looks very nice. I had a few problems with the beta version... but I also had problems with FF's beta version as well... however, RC1 is a much improved from the beta version. I have been telling everyone I find, to atleast download it and try it.

If you can, I would like for you to visit my site and view a post called "Browser Blog Wars"... its now on page 2, but check it out and hopefully I can pick your brain a little bit and find out where you stand with IE or FF.

Take care, and RSS added...
Garry

Sure, I am always up for a debate.  Ultimately, I am big fan of FF for driving innovation and I hope they continue to do so. That will make for a better IE ;D

feel free to contact me anytime
