So I am switching to Firefox for the time being. IE had a brief reprieve with me after XP SP2, but now I think most sites have figured out how to circumvent it's lame popup blocker. Unless you want to turn off popups altogether, which is just stupid.
I must admit that I liked this thing a lot after taking a half hour to get used to it. I will, of course, give IE7 a shot, as I chucked all of my religious affiliations a long time ago.
If it's possible to write an extension that hides the bookmarks sidebar ala the toolbox or solution explorer in Visual Studio, some of you open source dweebs should get on that. That would be hot.
There is one obvious annoyance, which I just discovered this second. Apparently the control that .Text uses for editing blog entries doesn't work in Firefox.
