I haven't seen anything that makes me want to upgrade to Longhorn. I've got all the eye candy and added functionality I need with my ODNT subscription and I use a lot less resources. There's a lot more to Longhorn than meet the eye. It's just not what you usually hear about.

Even though I'm most likely to keep with Firefox I'll update to IE7 asap even though it might not be an required download. This is because IE is more than a browser, it's a whole platform.

Loads of stuff other than just the browser rely on IE.
