I think you need to just give IE7 a chance. Don't think of it as "Copying" so much as evolution.
I congratulate Microsoft on IE7 yet I still have emailed and left comments telling them it isn't enough. It's good their taking a positive role in keeping the browser secure but they need to stop thinking they set standards and start following the already made ones.
Things like: IE7 not having a download manager, (default)inline searching, and have a counter intuitive interface is something that makes Microsoft look bad. Really, a company with resources considerably less than Microsoft seems to include all of this, why can't Microsoft?
I feel better now atleast that a majority of people will soon be rid of IE6.
