It's my 3rd choice
I like the interface better in IE 6. It lets me move the bars and the icons around anyway I want. The interface seems far more restricted in IE7. It costs me screen real estate that I can use for browsing in both IE6 and Firefox. Chrome is just super efficient with screen real estate to start with by not wasting all that room for the title bar when you maximize. I hate not having tabs in IE so I do have an add-on for that but I don't use IE much anyway.
Also, IE 7 doesn't seem to be any more secure than IE 6. It seems just as bad based on friend who I have that have computer problems. Those who use firefox or chrome consistantly have less random issues/malware.
I use Chrome and Firefox most of the time. Chrome is faster on my PC's and I like the start page with recent site thumbnails in Chrome. I do like the full page zooming (much better than any other browser zoom I've seen - ctrl-[scroll wheel]) in Firefox as well as the "find as you type".
With Firefox and Chrome I have no desire to install IE8. If a site requires IE, I always seem to get by with IE6.
I guess if I ever move to Windows 7 from Windows XP I'll probably end up with IE 8.
