What skin is that demonstrated on this post? I want my IE7 window to look like that!

the STOP and REFRESH-buttons

I don´t like the place of the refresh and stop button now. I would like to see an option where you can place these two buttons on each tab. I also would like to see a close button on the first tab. If you close the first tab the only thing left should be the "new tab"-button. If there aren´t any tabs open and you write an address then a tab should open when you press enter.

@Jerry,

You can see it.

1. Click "Continue to this website (not recommended)"

2. Click "Certificate Error"

I agree that most users do not understand the issues. But IE6- was not showing the cert by default, it was only giving an option to those that do know what to look for. IE7 no longer gives that option. So if someone hijacks my internal site, I have no way of seeing whether the certificate failed because of a different CN (but is still my certificate) or because someone broke in and installed theirs.

Is this a way for CA's to have their certificate in the "trusted" store without having to go through a Webtrust audit? That method of examining an organizations CP / CPA / PDS was very expensive if I remember correctly. Does MS even use the results of a Webtrust type audit to determine acceptance of a root cert? It's been some time since I have in the PKI arena.
