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

    • You are clueless. The updates are done in the background so the next time you open Edge the updates are applied automatically. There is no need to close all your tabs. Just keep browsing like you normally do. Clearly you don't use Edge and are just one of those haters that complain for the sake of complaining.
    • I don't get this David. Can you explain it please.  
    • Microsoft is busy. Lots of changes to be released imminently for Windows server or soon. Also, lots happening for next version as well. Third party virus scanning software is being moved out of Kernel mode to avoid repeat of Crowdstrike incident. Windows Protected Mode and Windows Ready Print no longer require third party print drivers to be installed. New storage stack being developed. New NVME drivers now available for Windows Server 2025 to improve local NVME drive performance by 60+ percent. NVME-Of of fabric being worked on for next release to improve network access to NVME drives. ReFs (next file system) now has ability to boot and will become default file system in next release of Windows Server. ReFs improves on NTFS in several areas including resiliency and reliability and scalability. New update stack is being worked on to unify Windows updates, and updates for drivers and first party/3rd party application software. A stricter and more robust third-party driver certification program (ODI) is being worked on to improve performance, thermals, battery life, and reliability on modern Windows hardware by tightening how OEMs and IHVs (Intel, AMD, Qualcomm, NVIDIA, etc.) build and ship drivers. There is a tone more but too numerous to mention.
    • Now disable that stupid OneDrive backup request when Windows starts please. So unbelievably frustrating to only have “remind me later” instead of “no and never ask me again”
    • Hello, The Media Creation Tool is still at v10.0.26100.7019 from October 2025. Just looks like the backend has been updated. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky
