Asa Dotzler has a pretty detailed write up on the merits of IE7 and the initial problems that have been found. Covering the new layout, features like tabbed browsing, searching and subscriptions, it’s a pretty detailed review and initial impressions. Its worth mentioning that this is from one of the original people behind Firefox though, so it is written from a Firefox zealot’s perspective!
I personally haven’t had a good enough chance to make the most of the preview yet so can’t make an informed comment though this is an interesting read.
