USE FIREFOX!!!!!
Pros: It's impossible to tell in few lines why Firefox is better than IE.
The first things I have in mind are :tabbed browsing (IE 7 hasn't them yet),light resources requirment (about 1/5 than IE),the huge list of extensions you can install (Adblock and DownThemAll really change your browsing).
Once you try it you won't go back (to the ugly and full of bugs IE).
With it (and common sense) my antispyware software is quite useless.
Browser and extensions are often updated,so your security will be always guaranteed (instead of the "once a month" microsoft quite useless updates).
Cons: It takes some seconds to start up (obviously, since it's not embedded in Windows like IE).
Some sites are not (yet) fully compatible (expecially microsoft sites,of course).
Sometimes when minimized it takes some seconds to restore to full screen (because when you don't use it it doesn't use your resources).
Having too much extension may slow considerably the startup (choose them wisely,with only two or three exts your needs can be fullfilled).
