InformationWeek compares the latest IE7 beta to Firefox 1.5, and concludes: "On a straight, feature-for-feature comparison, IE7 stacks up well against Firefox. If its improved security model lives up to its design specs, malware distributors will find it much more difficult to make a dishonest living, and the tabbed browsing features in the new release should make it much easier to deal with multiple pages."

I think you are right! Everything he tries to say is weaker in FireFox in fact has been fixed by an extension or a theme.

Example, he claims IE7 has a simpler layout. Simpler than the minial themes available for FireFox?

Also claim IE7 layout is easyier of an old IE user to use. Hello, there are IE themes too, I just don't use them.

The picking on RSS on FireFox avoids the fact of the number of messaging extension that FireFox has.

And tying your browser directly into Outlook does not give me a warn and comfortable feeling at all. This is just openning more way to attack the system.
