Pros

  • Built-in tabbed browsing
  • Anti-phishing technology
  • RSS reader
  • Redesigned Favorites Center

Cons

  • Limited to Windows XP SP2 users only
  • Installation requires reboot
  • Reuses old IE 6 code and doesn't yet comply with current Web standards
  • Doesn't match all the features found in Firefox or Opera
  • Carries a Microsoft legacy of not patching its IE flaws quickly enough
