If you have not noticed, Yahoo Mail, will not work because it detects it as a incompatible browser, so does launch (witch my gf cant live with out) and there will be other sites with the same problem.. so to fix it in the group policy editor goto user settings, software, internet exploer, connections, user strings and in there you can type in (what it says for ie6) and whala it works.. i have a screen cap on page 15 in Internet Explorer 7 Beta 1....

I am extremely impressed with IE 7 beta 1. They seem to have put a lot of work into making sure they give us the fastest, most user friendly and most useful browser available. Streets ahead of firefox! Good job Microsoft!

i really dont get all the people saying its amazing. this beta has gotta be one of the worst things ive seen, it could have done so much more but hasnt its still lagging WAY behind in terms of web standards... they are there for a reason.

the user interface is just plain ass, they attempted to copy parts of firefox ui, but aint done a good job of it. for example the yellow address bar on secure sites... come on be original firefox has been doing that for almost a year. ive seen better ui's that a 5 year old has made in vb, all the bars should be moveable not have the file menu as the third one down. btw the image that someone showed back a few pages isnt ie, its firefox skinned to look like ie.

so what bugs have they fixed guillotine and peekaboo, the 3mm bug still exists. dont quite see how its taken them so long to fix them.

what improvments to the rendering engine, well theres those 2 bug fixes... and png alpha support. thats it. no updates to css so for any designers that means no child selector support (>), no hover (:hover), no after or befor (:after, :before), just a couple that i thought ie would have to include just to bring them back up to being a viable browser, but nope nothing. it still cant even handle xhtml.

i understand its a beta but ffs ie6 with the msn toolbar is far far better looking and works far far better.

IE SP2 had this way before firefox if i remember correctly

    • My son is in Monaco right now, and I was checking his location in Apple's Find My app. I noticed that Prince Albert's Palace was blurred out on the satellite imagery in both Find My and Apple Maps. I checked Google Maps, and the palace wasn't blurred there. Does Apple have some kind of process where property owners can request that their homes be blurred on Apple Maps?  
    • No, it was THAT ugly and I’d rather forget it completely existed.
    • There is a lot of reasons not to use Edge but faster fixes and security updates is not one of them.
    • Can't reproduce. I installed Edge, went to neowin.net > accepted the cookie consent > used menu to go to forums, everything loads and I can browse around the forums. If you can't interact with the dialog on the forums for some reason, go to the main site and accept the cookie consent there? It is true that the site will not function properly until the cookie consent is accepted or rejected,. it's a legal requirement and I also know that certain VPN/ad blockers block it, which is a user related issue and not a neowin.net problem.   This is not our cookie consent dialog. Gotta love browser hijacking... /s Edit: this may be what Californians see, I will confirm with our consent provider.
