I'm happier with Firefox or Opera. The IE engine still feels much slower than Gecko (Firefox's engine I believe). It's absolutely horrible at blocking pop-ups, ads and spyware unless you keep a good HOSTS file and jump through some hoops changing config settings. I've also noticed many inconsistent behaviours. For instance, say you have 5 tabs open in IE and are on the first one. Sometimes when I'd open a new tab, it would be next to the first one, sometimes it would go to the far right. I don't know why it does these things but the whole program has an unpolished, sluggish, incoherant feel to me.
That being said, they did go in the right direction and I applaud some of their features. Notably the quick tabs feature, that shows you a thumbnail of all your tabs kind of like Expose for Macs.
