Here is a screen shot (click image for larger view):
It is supposed to have better security features than the current version and it has a very, very different look and feel. Notice the "tabs" along the top of the browsing window - this allows the user to have several sites open on different tabs, without having to open a new Explorer window. You can also search with the search engine of your choice by typing in the little search box in the upper right-hand corner. Navigating your favorites is also easier and faster - the favorites bar drops down when you click the star on the left-hand side. All these features will seem familiar to Firefox users, and I think will be welcome by Explorers, too.

Welcome to the world of tabbed browsing - once you get used to it you will never go back. With any luck MS will also take care of all those security bugs in IE while they are copying Firefox layout and functionality. You have to give MS credit - they recognize the best then steal it (or buy it).
Hey - isn't your 5K race this weekend?
