I finally got a chance to download and install IE 7 today. I've been meaning to do this for a while and was prompted when the RSS reader that I had been using disappeared from my laptop. I have been using Pluck as an IE plug-in and found it worked fairly well. However, I must say that I like the easy of using RSS with IE 7 even more.
The left column in the browser window has options for favorites, feeds or history and can be closed altogether when necessary. One can also simply click on the star icon to get this window to pop-up and not have to remain persistent. It is very easy to subscribe to a new blog using Atom or RSS 2.0 by clicking on the little icon to the right of home. So now I have a nice clean list of feeds and can view them as time permits.
Some other nice features of IE 7 include the ability to keep multiple sites open within a single browser window by using the CTRL-click feature to open multiple tabs and easily navigate between them. And the best feature of all may be the new print controls that size any Web page to fit on a single sheet of paper the first time you print it.
I'll share more as I have time to explore other features of IE 7.
