Microsoft finally released the official final release of the Internet Explorer 7.

I have been using beta versions and the release candidate of the IE 7. It is quite a change to get used to the tab browsing. Now I do not want to miss it. I hope the final release is stable as I still got some crashes with the Release Candidate.

You can download the IE 7 here. The IE 7 is only available for Windows XP with Service Pack 2, Windows XP Professional x64, Windows Server 2003 with Service Pack 1, Windows Server 2003 x64 and Windows Server 2003 IA64 edition.

Laptop Mag has a review of the IE 7. Their take is: "In the grand battle between Firefox and IE, we think that IE has a bit of an edge in this release, although the Firefox 2 betas we have seen will catch it up a bit. Many of the things we like about Firefox have been implemented in IE7 and have been polished to be more streamlined and useful. For those of us who spend a lot of time researching and working on the Web, IE7 represents the best and most aggressive IE upgrade we've seen in a while. "
