Where is the refresh button in the screenshots? Are you no longer allowed to refresh the screen? Are you forced to do a back followed by a foward now?

To the right of the address bar. When loading a page, it changes to a stop button.

Everyone doesn't seem to like the how the tabs are above the file menu. Maybe I am just weird but I find that it's a lot more comfortable...at least for me to use.

Is microsoft update broken for anyone else in ie7?

[Zucker2k]

IE7 requires WGAV. See screenshot below

Yeah, i'm getting used to it really quickly already.

I'm using IE 7 Beta 1 right now and I've gotta say the UI does suck......Try hitting the X to close it you'll have to refesh lol it kinda melts into the background. Also the tabs need an x on am so you can close it easy. You can't cuzm the toolbar (which is stupid).

wow...very impressed...have you all checked out the RSS feed?...

the interface is nice, clean and simple. Easy on the eyes.

I so far haven't noticed any Interface bug, all button works, it's very nice..

one thing however is that I can't open a bookmark on a tab....(no direct right click option to do so)...

[Makeshift Hammer]

I do hope people that do find bugs remember to report them to MS also. Just bitching on here wont help future versions.

Everytime I create a new tab, it crashes to desktop..

This is great it is wrong and ilegal to use IE 7 beta unless you are a special group of users. More power for Firefox they let users use any beta and any version they have no problems.

MS will die soon the way they keep treating users is just bad. They can't release windows with out taken everything they promise out of it. They refuse to put tabs or release IE 7 until Firefox takes a cut of their pie.

MS ahould start taken care of their customers.

A special group of users as in people that paid for microsoft products such as XP and are enrolled in the official beta for their software?

Can anyone comment on the speed of this build? Is it as fast as IE6?

[AZKABAZ]

Well I don't know how to make the RSS feeds work and Windows Update won't work even though I Genuine Advantaged last night, but other that that.... I am getting used to it... slowly.... UI is not that fantastically designed, but I suppose they are making it to get users to feel more comfortable with Longhorn.

#UPDATE# HA, I just realised, when you customise the UI it will change on only one tab, all the others look like your last customise or default :p As in there is no universal GUI update.

#UPDATE 2# Having some GUI ghosting probs when I make the history menu wider.

Bloody fast though, much faster than my Firefox.

#UPDATE 3# It needs and "Open In Tabs" option :\ It is a pain not having one.

A few website rendering probs... Neowin included.

I can confirm this build is just RIPPING through the web pages. VERY fast. Dare I say even faster than Firefox at some point?...:p

*please don't flame*

[JustGeorge]

IE6 is faster at page rendering than FF from what I see. FF user btw...

[Poof]

Anybody have an MD5 of their IE7-WindowsXP-x86-enu.exe please?

Thanks, be quite helpful.

One further question: Any beta tester adventurous enough to install IE7 using Wine/Cedega/Crossover?

[NeoXY]

IE6 or IE7?

IE6 is NOT faster than Firefox...

Yes it is. Because firefox actually renders them correctly while IE6 doesn't. Hence why IE6 is fast.
