I have the rc1 build 2096 installed and have been testing. I do not agree with the assumption that ie is better than mozilla in any way. I have been running forebird/firefox awhile and appreciate one thing the most. You can right click on images (firebird/firefox) and block them too... ads be gone... lol! I think that sp2 will offer a lot, but I will still not use the default firewall. I don't need it. One thing that is cool though is that you can open ie and go to tools, manage add-ons and see what things have installed in ie. We could really use this where I work since most of the spyware installs itself and you can never figure out where it is.. this feature may help to disable it... The security center is not needed if you ask me. Maybe they should produce a home/pro update having the home version include the enhanced features such as the security center and have the pro version not have everything on by default. Just my thoughts...
