I really gave up on Bond years ago - I can barely even watch the movies if they are on Free-To-Air TV...

Craig did an amazing job in Casino Royale and Quantum of Solace.  I can't wait to see him in Skyfall.

Meh. I gave up on Bond when they made him blond. And while there was some decent violence, there wasn't any of the suaveness you expect from Bond. This new Bond is somewhere below Roger Moore in my estimation.

Is Moore above or below Lazenby?

After Lazenby, before Dalton.

So that would make the order:

Connery
Lazenby
Moore
Craig
Dalton?

My ratings of the Bonds:

1) Sean Connery
2) Daniel Craig
3) Pierce Brosnan (If Pierce had gotten Bond when they first offered it, he'd be #2)
4) George Lazenby
5) Timothy Dalton
6) David Niven
7) Peter Sellers
8 ) Woody Allen
9) Roger Moore

The order of their portrayals:

Sean Connery -> David Niven/Peter Sellers/Woody Allen* -> George Lazenby -> Sean Connery -> Roger Moore -> Timothy Dalton -> Pierce Brosnan -> Daniel Craig

*Casino Royale is based off the official story, but done as a spoof.

Ouch! I didn't think Moore was that bad...

Also, I'd completely forgotten that Brosnan had been Bond...

Moore was Horrible!  His best portrayal of Bond wasn't even as Bond.  He played the iconic "scary old gay guy" on
Boat Trip with Horatio Sanz and Cuba Gooding Jr.  His best line was "I used to work for the Queen. Now I am one.

Fastjack, kudos to you for the Sellers nod.  I don't know if it was a parody or not but that role was awesome.  I will give you
Allen, though technically he didn't play "James Bond". He did however play Jimmy Bond his nephew.

If I had a time machine, I'd be interested to see how Gregory Peck would have fared as Bond...

I agree with the Anglophenia blog from BBC America.  The last three in a battle Royale would be Lazenby, Craig and Connery.

I think Connery would come out on top. Maybe a little shaken, not stirred by the event, though ;)
