Wrongamundo..
Not to mention firefox is funner it has lots of extentions and themes and it is more intuitive than IE: like you type google in the address bar and you go to google.com IE: Page not found. Firefox is better all around security is better extentions are better. So catch up with the rest of world will ya! there is a reason it has taken the browser market by storm.

If you type in "Google" in IE7, (depending on who your default search provider is) will take you to a search page searching the word "google."

As for fun factor, if you happen to have Google as your default search provider, Google searches for itself and displays various google services.

As far as security is concerned in IE7 (at least in the Vista version), it blows Firefox and most other browsers (as installed by default) away. First off, it's got a phishing filter that works rather nicely. Secondly, the entire browser is put in a sandbox.
