They reconmending everyone that uses internet explorer 7 to either use google chrome or mozilla firefox instead.

Stick with IE7, but download the security patch that was released at 6pm this evening. (That's what I'll be doing anyway )

IE7 is only slow if you have the Phishing filter enabled. You can disable it if you have a decent AV/Internet Security package. (I run Kaspersky)

Apparently Chrome is even worse than IE7 in the security test reviews.

Firefox all the way
