Microsoft mirrors the look and feel of other browsers while adding a few unique features.

Built-in search
Although MSN Search is the default search setting within IE 7, Microsoft does link out to Google and other sites, so you can quickly change that. If your default search is currently set to Google, however, no need to worry: when IE 7 imports your data from IE 6, it'll preserve your search engine preference. Also, IE 7 will lock that preference so that installing toolbars won't automatically -- and sometimes without your permission -- change that preference.
It would be an insult to other browser makers to say that IE7 B2 preview looks anything like other browsers.
The only resemblence it has to other browsers is the tabs (sort of) and the quick search bar.
To me, IE7 resembles Windows Media Player 10, more than anything else.
