Why when I go to Neowin.net, it doesn't show a RSS feed button, or for any other sites for that matter. When I initially load IE7, I see the RSS feed button flash for a second, then it goes away. :pinch:

That's GAY! It should be default on there so we don't need to customize the toolbar to get it... GRR

IE7 looks good.

I'm still testing.

But is it possible to identify IE7 as IE6?

I can't use my internet banking :(

You actually want to use your internet banking via a BETA product? :rolleyes: (To simply test and see if you can get into the internet banking I can see, but no more than that!)

Here are my thoughts. I like the new design, except for the huge OPEN NEW TAB button after your tabs and the icons near you FILE etc. menu. It looks yuck. I find the build very stable, but nothing like Firefox. Clearly, Microsoft need to do a lot more to get back the competition. I also noticed the new favourites. There is one for Internet Explorer Plug-ins...sounds like Firefox a bit? If Microsoft want to out do firefox, add some extra features. Where is the download manager? I thought IE 7 was going to have one?

MSN Tech & Gadgets section confirms that a public beta of IE 7 will not be out till beta 2.

Microsoft lead product manager Greg Sullivan said Microsoft is not planning for

a downloadable version of IE 7 to be made publicly available until Beta 2.

"We'll really be ready to do broader end user testing around Beta 2," Sullivan

said. The company has not said when that version will arrive.

But that's not to say people who aren't in the beta don't already have it ;)

OMG, IE hasn`t got a refresh button... buaaahahah, in your face, IE users... :laugh:

No, the Refresh button is static. You can't move it like in IE6. It just sits on the right side of the address bar, which is a bit annoying.

Actually the Refresh button is also the Stop button, when the page loads.

The tabs work awesome. They behave exactly as I would want them to (unlike firefox), i didn't expect this.

The RSS reading also looks quite nice, but I don't see the point of it.

In Maxthon you have a sidebar with rss feeds in it, so you can look in the sidebar and see if there are any new news items listed and click on them.

But in IE7, it just opens them ina new webapge and you may as well open the main neowin webpage.

Guys,

Is it possible to install this in Server 2K3 SP1? I have a valid key, but the error I get is: "The version of Windows you have installed does not match the update you are trying to install". I tried running it as Windows 2K and Windows XP compatible, but no luck so far. Is there any way to pass this check? Thanks in advance

Works alright.  The interface seems like it should be an Alpha or Pre-Alpha version though.  :blink:

That was exactly what I thought. I was expecting more. I've still yet to install Vista/Longhorn, so maybe it'll be better inside the new OS than it was stand alone in XP SP2. I went back to IE6 after I saw and used it.

It was very stable though... I will give credit for that job well done.

    • Playground Games confirms Forza Horizon 6 save wipe bug

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      Playground Games confirms Forza Horizon 6 save wipe bug by Taras Buria Forza Horizon 6 was launched last month to critical acclaim (check out our review here), and it became a smash hit in an instant. Now, weeks into the launch, with die-hard fans clocking hundreds of hours, Forza Horizon 6 is facing a serious issue: save wipes. After multiple complaints on Reddit and social media, the studio issued a statement. The problem with missing saves came shortly after Playground Games promised the initial batch of gameplay tweaks and improvements. Unfortunately, there seems to be no temporary fixes for those affected by unexpected save wipes. However, the studio published a new support document with a few important steps users should try. First, affected gamers should open a support ticket immediately (go here to file one) so that the support team can try recovering the lost progress by reverting to an earlier save. Playground Games says this should be done the same day the issue occurs. Meanwhile, gamers are urged not to start new play sessions or create new saves. The studio also published a few things gamers should try to avoid to prevent potential progress loss: Ensure your Gaming Services app on PC or XBOX Series X|S console is fully up to date. On XBOX Series X|S consoles, disable Quick Resume for Forza Horizon 6: To disable Forza Horizon 6 from using Quick Resume, highlight the game box art anywhere in the console experience (Home, My Games & Apps, Pins, etc) and then press the Menu button, then go to Manage game and add-ons > Quick Resume settings > Disable Quick Resume. Ensure you are online when ‘quitting’ the game. Give your saved time to sync to the cloud before powering off or switching devices. Do not force quit the game during save screens. Do not power off the device during gameplay. Always "Quit" (console) or "Exit to desktop" (PC) once you've finished your play session, ensuring the save icon is not visible when you’re closing the game. Before turning off your console, shutting down your PC, or force-closing the Steam app, give your devices or clients at least a few minutes to ensure your latest progress has been synchronized with the cloud. This will reduce the risk of progress reversions as you switch between different platforms. XBOX Series X|S consoles, Steam, and the XBOX app on PC all include game save indicators that confirm your progress has been synced. You can read more about the bug in the official support document here. Forza Horizon 6 is currently available on PC (Steam and the Microsoft Store), Xbox Series X|S, and Game Pass. The game is also coming to PlayStation 5 later this year.

    • Windows 11's big performance boost is finally available for all

      By leonsk29 · Posted

      If only Windows would have a toggle switch labeled "Get the latest updates as soon as possible" inside Windows Update settings... But nah, let's hide the new stuff inside a controlled feature rollout, even if the user is explicitly asking for the new stuff as soon as possible. Awesome idea!

      After watching the Apple event earlier this week it is quite the contrast. Apple is going back and tweaking the code to make things more efficient in many areas of MacOS. Windows is boosting your electric build to hide their issues.
