X-posted - see PS!

Putting aside specific issues (compatibility, printing, installation, etc)
noted by others, is my experience of the following typical - and is this the
way it is supposed to be? [on my HP Pavilion notebook, 3GHz HT Pentium, 1GB
RAM...]

Speed: pages seem to load more slowly than before. I know that the phishing
filter might be implicated in this, but surely checking and reporting on
phishing status should be independent of the presentation of the website
itself? (Load the page as fast as possible, and only when phishing saeerch
complete update the icon). As to the effect of add-ins on speed... it was all
fine with IE6.

Responsiveness: Tabbed browsing seems rather pointless (apart from having a
single window) when one cannot work effectively with tabs because IE7 is
unresponsive while loading, e.g after a Ctrl-click on a link (to open a new
background tab) I am unable to click again until the new page has loaded! It
doesn't seem that IE7 is multithreaded properly (or at all?). I am better off
with different browser windows because they all respond to events
independently.

FWIW, as you have already crossposted to the right group.
There is a newsgroup for IE7 and has been since the beta started.
I see in http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/ie7/default.mspx that
the recommended newsgroup is microsoft.public.internetexplorer.general

In a proper newsreader:
news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsoft.public.internetexplorer.general

If you must use a web interface:
http://www.microsoft.com/communities/newsgroups/en-us/default.aspx?dg=microsoft.public...
