IE7 Initial Feedback - What’s Yours?

I’d like to know what everyone thinks of IE7? Can Microsoft turn it around? My initial reaction was more impressed than I thought I would be. Granted, they are few years behind the tabs and rss feed support as Apple’s Safari Browser has supported for a few years now. And they have also just introduced their own version of font smoothing. But they have been increasing their support for CSS2.0 after an outcry from the web developer/designer community. I have heard both good things and bad things from fellow co-workers, like it crashes a lot and it makes pages looks weird, I have also heard that its very slow. It took almost 60 seconds for FireFox.com to load, which I find rather ironic. Whats your feedback?
