I hear the fixed IE7 is up I want it :(

[LispyGlitter2]

thanks for the update, yes they have re-uploaded it and it's working now :)

On IE 7 now and posting this. It's nice and seems a lot better :)

[ObiWanToby]

I am jealous, i didn't get invited but i know when things work :(

But in Acid 2 test it shows exact same as IE 6, but apart from that, it's rocking.

Wow, it's terrible. The file menu is locked below the tabs. Using Luna, the file menu looks extremely bad because it's too thin. The forward button is cut off on the right. And, in all their genius, they set the default search engine to google.

The only good thing, that I've seen so far, is the support for png alpha blending.

Any improvements in rendering? Does CSS and transparent PNG's work as promised?

I installed and it was set on google. I've never used IE for searching and have never set a default engine.

"Internet Explorer 7 Beta 1 is available now in two versions: a standalone version for Windows XP Service Pack 2, and an enhanced version that is built into Beta 1 of Microsoft Windows Vista?formerly Windows code-named ?Longhorn??to take advantage of new features of the Windows Vista platform."

what are the "enhancements."

A lot of "spyware busting" apps seem to do that though (set http://www.google.com/) as the default search then lock it down (i know spywareblaster, which i use does.).

[JnCoKiLLa]

A lot of the enhancements, I believe, will be in the rendering side of things. Like I said, PNG Alpha blending finally works and I'm sure CSS support has improved.

Tsk tsk, kids these days :no:

lol! I'm probably old enough to be your dad.

I just hate how people add in those smart@ss remarks when someone mentions a program that they hate.

Oh and "Tsk tsk, kids these days" was exactly what came to my mind about your comment in the first place.

I know that the website (http://www.microsoft.com/windows/IE/ie7/default.mspx) says that IE7 beta is already available to MSDN Subscribers, but I still can't find anyone. Anyone else have it yet? (that's a MSDN Subscribers)

Just installed IE7 and I must say I am surprisingly liking it. Tabs look very nice, better than FireFox. Add On Manager-IE7 has extensions, I can see a whole lot of new extensions coming out for IE7. Over all the SP2 version GUI is very attractive and will now give Firefox a run if not better than the default theme in Firefox. IE7 seems to improve on rendering as Web Pages come up smooth-fast and Flawless.

Phishing Filter has excellent Artificial Intelligence from what I have see thus far.

Yes you will need to Validate Windows in order to install IE7! ;)

BoyRacer, IE7 is not here. It's not even there. I cannot get it. Oh, wait. I use Safari RSS. :p

[Kr0z]

I wonder how I will react to IE7 after using Firefox for the last 18 months.

It's going to be a bit awkward at first I think. But very exciting.
