Opera 7.5: Worth looking at

I'm a dedicated Mozilla user (currently using Mozilla Firebird 0.7+ and Mozilla Thunderbird 0.4, though for practical reasons, I still need to use Microsoft Outlook as a PIM) but the latest Opera release--Opera 7.5 beta--is worth exploring. "Opera 7.5 beta for Windows introduces the looks and the performance of an exceptional Web browser. Opera's user interface has received a major overhaul with the new start-up dialog, and new default buttons, skin and panels in a blue and white color scheme that can be changed back to classic Opera look or another design. At start-up you can select a single or multiple document interface (SDI/MDI). Opera's new looks are complemented with exciting features such as the Personal Bar and Pagebar, hotclick, improved window handling, bookmarks search, redesigned preferences, new shortcuts, extensive drag and drop, and support for Unicode and LiveConnect. " Furthermore, Opera 7.5 includes an inegrated RSS reader (ala Newsgator for Outlook), which uses the Opera mail client's interface to display RSS feed items.. There are versions with Java and without Java (which I'd imagine is the preferred version).
