Great, hopefully I'll be able to try it on my server soon

I wonder how much of a difference it's gonna make on a server

Don't install Internet Explorer guys, ive sen a lot of people have tons of problem doing it(especially me), get it untilk the final version comes out

Finally, a x64 version.

I installed the 32bit standalone on XP x64 and now my IE6 is seriously messed.

I tried removing the registry key that caused problems when beta 1 was released but no luck

That leaves just one more platform to release for, Vista. Hopefully they'll make a download available to update at least the latest build with IE7 Beta 2, but I have a feeling we'll just have to wait for the next CTP.

Will anything be changed in the server 2003 version?
because you can hack the installer to install on server 2003 and it runs fine.

How do you do it?

For the love of god, change the UI please!

Why are all the Neowin posts claiming that the current release for XP is "Beta 2" when it certainly is not.

It's a "Beta 2 Preview" (basically a CTP) - it is NOT beta 2.

Vista always has the latest version of IE7... You can't update an older build of Vista with an IE beta made for XP/Server 03

#10.1 metalguy90 on 06 Feb 2006 - 14:27

i installed it on MCE 2005 with no problems.

I don't know about the server or 64 bit versions, but the Beta 2 Preview of IE 7 is great. The reviews have disregarded the improved speed and clearer font rendering. Currently, it's the best internet experience around.

who installs an Internet explorer beta (preview) on a server OS?

#12.1 WinCC on 13 Feb 2006 - 06:08

For example someone who use it as a developer platform.
