It is also faster than Firefox in my experience (YMMV, Firefox does not like me, especially under Ubuntu Linux). IE7 interface is a bit different from IE6 but I have no problems with it even during the first use. It is said that IE7 has some problems with some websites but so far I have not encountered any problems. But since you are happy with Firefox (many people are), there is no compelling reason to upgrade to IE7. You do not need IE7 to install Windows XP SP3 anyway.
