Hi Ray,
I don't see what all the fuss is about Firefox personally. OK Tabbed browsing is there, but while it is better for security, you can't use it with Windows Update, and many sites that rely on Active X, so I personally will stick to IE. Also, I find that some links are simply missing in FF when I go to web sites, that are better displayed in IE. Some HTML is not rendered nearly so well in FF in my view. So what is all the fuss about?

Sam, I'd err on the side of caution. In the recent past I think people have found that if they cannot get on with IE7 reverting back to 6 has been quite hard. Maybe the unistall problem has been solved by now, but I don't know.
Why not give Firefox a try? If you have V7 of JAWS or you are using Window-Eyes 5.5 you will have no problems with it, and the keyboard navigation is very near identical. Don't know how HAL copes with Firefox, but I've a feeling that v7 works quite well with Firefox. Firefox is said to be worth it for security reasons alone, but it has always had tabbed browsing which, of course, IE7 will have.
