Best new Firefox feature: Spell Check. The amount of time saved by not having to cut and paste between Word and whatever I am editing in the browser will really add up over time
Best New IE7 feature: Sharper font. You could always enlarge the font but now it is more readable without having less material on a page.
Worst New IE7 Feature: Where is everything on the toolbars exactly?. Did they have a acid flashback night in Redmond and threw darts against a wall to rearrange the toolbars?

I think MS did this for added security just like you can't move things around like in ie6.

Summary: what really puzzles me is the fact that MS is so quiet about the release of IE7 ... no big advertising campaign (we're the best, srew the rest! our browser is the safest!, etc. :-), nothing. this full...
