I thought this category is only for Portable freeware submission?
Why the topic like this is also included in this category.

Actually there is a Internet Explorer 7 Portable version spreading on the net.

Do you believe that it's legitimate? Would you run it?

The site for first hit that I got (on Google) is blocked by my Internet filtering software. The second hit is for a guy on eBay that was selling it for 500 Philippine Pesos, about ten US Dollars.

I believe I'll pass for now.

Test Internet Explorer 7 Without Installing It ...Note that not all the features will work well and this standalone installation is recommended only for developers that want to test IE7, but also need Internet Explorer 6..."

I think I'll stick with my portable apps... Pocket K-Meleon is perfectly usable for my purposes and GreenBrowser is great for those times when I just can't let go of IE.

I used to fire up Crazy Browser when I accessed IE-only sites, but now I never leave Firefox Portable with the IE Tab extension installed!

I think I've mentioned before that I'm not a die-hard fan of Firefox. I don't think it's the next best thing to sliced bread as some people make it out to be. I find it to be a tad slow, particularly when switching between multiple tabs, which I frequently do.

I'm sad to say that there are some web developers out there who seem to think that IE is still the only browser, on the planet, in use. Shamefully, my bank is one of them and their online banking website doesn't work exactly as it should with Firefox.

I'm certainly aware that IE has it's fair share of security holes but I've read that Firefox is not without its issues either.

Having said all that, I DO use Firefox on the Mac because Safari is even more of an abomination than IE (in terms of usability and features). Yes, it has tabbed browsing but most of the other features I need are missing or sorely lacking. Anyway, since this isn't really a Mac site that is by-the-by.

...that's just my two cents worth.

And, as I've said before, I started using Opera a long time ago and have never looked back.

+1. But last time I use Opera mini 5 times more than desktop one...
