Are Custom Toolbars in IE useless?

Well, I wonder what will come of the custom toolbars in IE 7. Most people I know used Yahoo, Google, etc ONLY for popup blocking (included), quick search (included; along with tons other search engines), and for inappropriate link redirects (good ol’ spy/adware that most don’t know they have; lol). I know there are other uses but the general public typically used the toolbars for this reason only.

Add those features (other than spy/adware) to IE natively and you get _________________________. (someone fill in the blank) I would fill it in with “a loss of toolbar downloaders unless the toolbar does something remarkeable that justifies the extra space taken up on my browser window.” :-) Kinda long but hey. Either way, the customization portion of IEAK 7 is great for businesses.

This coule be a great marketing plug. KM might have to tinkle with one just for the heck of it. Well, we all know what happens with internal projects. [cough] BACK BURNER [cough]
