New pro/con: Most plugins are commercial and not open source which raises security concerns.
New pro/con: Too many unfixed serious security holes. Security updates are too infrequent.
New pro/con: Very rudimentary Tab feature - not enough space for tabs: Command bar is the only configurable toolbar sharing its space with the tab bar. No undo close tab.
Agreed: "Violates web standards."

New pro/con: Abuse from fans of other browsers who can't find any superior features elsewhere (see above).
New pro/con: Speed - reloading 5 tabs on browser startup takes 4 seconds (FX 3.0.5), the same task with Internet Explorer 7 takes 14 seconds (until all tabs are fully loaded). This is on a Athlon 64 6000 with 2 Gbyte Ram under Windows XP Pro.
New pro/con: The full potential of this browser can only be unlocked by downloading & trying the (free) extensions. Choosing between hundreds of them can be a daunting task.
New pro/con: Its easier to integrate into different OS themes (e.g. using Windowblinds).
New pro/con: DOM browser can be used to learn about web pages and customize the browser itself.

New pro/con: desktop widgets such as calendar, clock etc
Agreed: "asks for too many confirmations when performing routine tasks"
New pro/con: Not suitable for musicians as Aero introduces latency issues with ASIO. Focus on consumer => graphics, graphis, graphics and not much else

"With the exception of tabs, most of the User Interface changes of version 7 are less usable thatn previous version and add confusion. E.g. Having one 1 history drop down and making the user think about whether an item is forward or backward. Putting the Home button in an unexpected place (right hand side of tab more

New pro/con: Auto-Tag feature: good for roll your own mp3s and to correct these collectors items.
New pro/con: Multiple sound card support: listen on your hi-fi card while Windows gets the onboard chip.

"Using Winamp since version 1... tried WMP + iTunes. Pros: The AutoTag feature is invaluable to me since I rip a lot of my mp3s from my own Vinyl collection. Visualizations run rings around the ones in Media Player or iTunes. Finally I can select the sound card without sending my windows plings and boings through more
