My computer (PC - Windows XP) is prompting me to install Internet Explorer 7.0 (I now have IE 6.0). I have read some bad reviews on 7.0 and am wondering if it has improved lately. Should I bother to install 7.0?

I'd say to install it and become familiar with using it. I don't use IE7 as the default browser but have tried it out. It's much better than IE6 in my opinion. IE7 has security updates too and that alone might be a good reason to install it.

Thank you for your response, tellywellies. Perhaps I will take the plunge and install it.
