any pre-install advice as I yet to upgrade my XP computers to IE7?
I was looking forward to a tabbed IE but after using IE in Vista the
prospect of the new release for XP didn't have me downloading ASAP.

I did install FF2 & the release candidates for this browser - love it but
miss it in Vista :( I have just made a full backup of one of my XP computers
before any decision to install IE7 don't want this on an auto as I would
prefer to know when I am going to install. Read various posts about install
problems - presume the less running in the background the more chance of a
successful install?

I will still use FF as my main browser but know the odd time I have to run IE.
