IE7 is a waste of space? Steve's Ramblings Steve Foster Jun 25 2006 Is it just me, or does IE7's new interface consume an excessive amount of vertical screen estate? Many web pages are taller than the average screen, and the new tabbed layout seems to take up more space than the old IE6 (not to mention that it was possible to rearrange the toolbars back then). I like Opera's ability to let me change the layout to suit my needs much better.
