I won't be worried too much about seeing one minor slip there so much. The one thing that IE 7 now offers is the antiphising feature. That will be helpful when you run across a bad site. As always you have to wait for other security fixes for IE in the updates that come out later.

I tryed this test in firefox and it said to me that "your browser does not appear to vulnerable to this particular exploit", whereas in IE6 or IE7, it says that "your browser is vulnerable"

When I went to the ie7 download page on the ms website avast went mad asbout VBS:zulu worm. This happens every time I visit the ie7 homepage.
It doesn't say the worm is in the page itself, it says its in rad.msn.com/*randomnumbers* so im not sure...

RC2 the beta version of FireFox froze instantly. So the chance of seeing how that antiphising feature will have to wait until the finished comes out. It was the same thing with the beta of IE 7. That was removed fast when it saw some problems running it there. But that's a problem with betas to begin with.

In IE you have the Favorites on the left in both versions where you can add or remove links at anytime there. You can even right click on each link and rename it if you want to. The links is still on the right side if you have a toolbar added. The menu bar is hidden by default where you can forward linls. You have to use the "tools" on the lower right to check the menu bar and then try settings there. IE 6 is easier in that regard.
