I don't know if it was subconscious or not, but the here at the end of the article is not linked to anything; it's just text.

I personally found that very funny. =)

'First, there is finally a “Find on this Page” feature you can actually use, since it is placed in its own field below the address bar.' Are you saying that IE7 somehow prevented the and F keys from being pressed simultaneously on your keyboard or that it somehow prevented you from right-clicking anywhere on the toolbar and checking the "Menu Bar" entry in the context menu?

Why does MS need to abide by Acid2 standard if IE is already the standard?

Flash Bazbo: A lot of times I have noticed in IE, when you ctrl-F or right-click to find something it only searches the frame you are on. I run into this problem at work a lot since some of our web-based db pages runs multiple frames. Hopefully this would fix that and allow my searches to cover the whole page and not just the frame I have selected.

I agree with the installation concerns.
