Question from a totally (ok, fairly ) computer challenged person - is there any reason why I shouldn't download IE7? Is there any reason why I should?

Well... I wouldn't download it because of the way that Microsoft have reallocated ctrl-scroll wheel to mean "Zoom" rather than "Increase text size" (which they've still not fixed!)

I would download it because it does have some security benefits.

It's all going to be moot soon... Microsoft are going to do a forced download (by making IE7 a "critical" fix) in the next couple of weeks. :(

Thanks John. I guess, I'll wait for that then.
