I was only going to try it for a couple days but couldnt bring myself to switch back.
Security wise its as good as FF if not better the biggest security advantage isnt anything really special its just they arent IE.

That's one area where Firefox beats Opera. IE will import a Firefox bookmark file no problem.

Easy solved, bookmark back to FF then to IE, mind you switching from opera back to IE is like driving a punto after spending all your time in a Jag.
Yes I knew how to do that but that's hardly the point. I would have to install FF just to convert my bookmarks from Opera so I could get them into IE --- er.... no thanks!
Your comment about Opera being like a Jag compared to IE's Punto just doesn't stand up to scrutiny
in my experience. I'm using the latest beta of IE7 and it's every bit as fast as Opera but without the clunky bits, all the plugins will work in IE7 without having to jump through hoops to get them working (as I often had to do when I used Opera, and FF to a lesser degree).
