Internet Explorer 7 Beta - 2/1/2006 10:21:42
So I just downloaded and started using Internet Explorer 7 Beta. I have to say it's a lot different. Not sure how the program handles code yet. What do you guys think of it?
You can download it from here...just go to get Beta 2 preview

Don't think it's much of an improvement - more of a bugfix for IE6 plus tabs - They don't have much really exciting in there and still not up to the current levels of Moz, FF, Opera, Safari.
I'm living in hope that the actual release gives us a bit more.

For some reason I just don't care for the layout of the program.

Too much of a coward to actually download it - I was using via a remote access system - didn't notice a problem with the layout as I was just feeding all my sites into the address bar to see if anything broke (thankfully nothing that I noticed!!).
There are rumours around (Sitepoint) that this beta was causing BDOS problems and people were unloading it - but I don't know how true that is.

I think that the problem is that a lot of us were expecting that all of CSS2 would be available with IE7 and it's begining to be clear that it's not which is a real shame. I'd love to be able to do more clever stuff in IE but I can't which makes me cross (stamps foot for emphasis).
Edit: 'parently IE7 will be included in a service pack upgrade to XP which will overwrite IE6 plus obviously it will be in Vista so it looks like a very high percentage of XP users will also be IE7 users fairly soon after it's launch.
