Looks are the minor portion, as are usability feature changes.
Most people will not notice the core improvements or how
they impact securability, except by sites/codes that are broken
until their supplier fixes them. Since MS had a very lengthy
campaign to get the work out and let providers fix their sites
and codes well ahead of IE 7 release, I just use it to measure
the degree of consumer concern of those providers.
I also gladly leave those providers behind, at least for the
time being, and enjoy the bit of enhanced easy of mind from
leaving IE 6 behind.
