8.5X cannot open Windows 2007 documents

We started looking to deploy Windows 2007 and have noticed that it takes a very long time to open an attachment or html link from users mail boxes.

If I upgrade Office to 2007, and then click a web link in my email it takes a few minutes for my machine to respond and finally open up IE. Once I remove 2007 and go back to 2003 the problem is no more!

Has anyone else experienced this? I havent been able to find any other information on it.
