Within the last hour, CNET News.com has revealed that Microsoft will release a beta of Internet Explorer 7 this Summer. Microsoft Chairman Bill Gates announced the new browser version at the RSA Conference 2005 in San Francisco. The beta will be available to users with Windows XP Service Pack 2. Previously Microsoft has said that Internet Explorer updates would only be delivered with Windows upgrades, leading many to anticipate that there would be no IE7 until the release of Longhorn next year. Therefore, Microsoft's announcement of a new IE release decoupled from a Windows revision can be seen as a policy reversal. Analysts suggest that competition from rivals such as Mozilla Firefox may have acted as the catalyst for this change ...
Mozilla Firefox user responses :
"I'll consider using IE7 when adblock is available as an IE extension."
"Firefox 1.0 is better right now than IE 7 will be when it comes out.
Don't wait. Get Firefox now."
"Browsing is definitely a point of vulnerability" - Bill Gates.
Fix that vulnerability now: Get Firefox!

been using firefox since 0.6
I find that ff is beginning to suffer from bloat.
js performance has been going downhill....
perhaps they need a team of coders specializing in optimizing code.
Portable code == bad performance :P
