... So come on, for the better of this community, leave it off the damn forums. I'm sick of it, and I hope there are more people like me that want it gone. Use a torrent forum if you want to talk about torrent-warez.

Without getting into an argument, how is this any different than the discussion we were having the other day?

I need to contact Microsoft about this seriously it makes NO sense, it's ridiculous that Not all Internet Explorer enthusiasts who are GOOD with computers CAN'T even get a FREE product tested.

It's Silly and Greedy they only let MSDN users get it legally.

Also,  Did Microsoft SAY if Non-beta testers finds this, that it's considered Illegal Download?

I wouldn't imagine that it's illegal, perhaps unsafe for Novice users.

I don't even understand how it can be considered Illegal, considering IE is ALWAYS been FREE.

It's like Star Wars Trailer Delimma, Lucasfilm wants to ban everyone who isn't a Hyperspace member to get a hold of their trailer! It's BS!!!

If non-beta testers find a bug and report it and are asked to identify how they got the beta, what do you think will they answer?

It's unsafe for everyone using their most powerful/important computer. If it crashes/screws up the system, then all they can hope is a System Restore and not installing any more betas. When betas are released, every company states that it should be installed cautiously. A beta is exactly that, a mostly finished product but not yet the final version. Once the bugs are removed, everyone can install and enjoy it.

I have seen every post in this thread and all I can say is this. MS has succeeded in doing exactly what it wanted: give people an alternative to move away from Firefox. that has been the main goal for MS and they are achieving it. Secondary features like CSS/PNG support and others are exactly that. Secondary. MS's main goal is to make sure that people use IE. The more the people wean away from FF, the better it is for MS. I have seen screenshots of IE and I know where to get it but I am waiting for all bugs to be removed and will officially wait for MS to say that all people can download this.

Just my $0.02.

i tried it what i really liked about ie previous version its the ability to move  everything from adress bar to customize icon i cant find a way to do that here.. anyways so far this its 1st beta its not impressive looks like a copy of firefox so far... (the interface)

Just curious but didnt netscape begin the browser wars back in 94, and then MS release IE in 95, so i'd have to say firefox is the one whos copying interfaces. for the most part the general interface for all of them has been the same. they all have pretty much the same layout and locations of buttons and address bars and that started over a decade ago, so to say IE7 is copying firefox is a little off isnt it

Go to Add/Remove Programs. Make sure that Show Updates is checked. Scroll under Windows XP - Software Updates. It will be listed as Internet Explorer 7 Beta 1

IE7 just views them as links, they open the feeds in a window that looks the same as a webpage.

I am pretty damn good with computer softwares. I had tested many apps before! Microsoft ought to make it a fully public beta but with a huge RED Warning that it's not safe for people don't know what they are doing! That's how they should done it!

OK I need to get this off my chest. I love this site but here's my problem.

Why is it that this forum is home to soo many pricks???

Obviously he didn't know the Beta wasn't going to be public like MANY people thought it was going to be. I bet even you jerks thought it was going to be public til yesterday. But anyway.....it seems like the jerks here love making others feel stupid. I bet you jerks that didn't get invited to the beta managed to find a link to it anyway and are already using IE 7, along with Vista most likely. So why don't you jerks keep your little smartass comments to yourself and stop acting like computer gods who know all there is to know about computers. You sound like the Comic Book Guy on The Simpsons when you guys go into your rants

BTW...I know for a fact 1 jerk on this post who got the beta off a warez site already and they want to say they were invited to download it...what a :laugh:

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

      By +Good Bot, Bad Bot · Posted

      I agree when are you going to read this (really poor BTW) article? Here is a better article so you actually know what is going on and answers questions you had in other comments --> https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2026/05/speed-boosting-low-latency-profile-is-one-of-the-improvements-coming-to-windows-11/ It is unclear if one will be able to disable the new profile at this point but I am not seeing any reason why one would.
    • Euro-Office must default to ODF to be considered "genuinely European", LibreOffice argues

      By Snake Doc · Posted

      I disagree; they come off very "bitchy" and "whiny". Make a great product and combine that with a great price (free) and people will come over to your side. Or build it and they will come as they say. Constantly trying to get attention by complaining all the time, will turn people off to your product.
    • Euro-Office must default to ODF to be considered "genuinely European", LibreOffice argues

      By +Eternal Tempest · Posted

      It use to be a nightmare, with LibreOffice supporting a newer draft ODF standard by default, and Microsoft Office supporting the older non-draft standard. Now that they both support the same version of ODF, they should be interoperable.
    • Brave Browser 1.91.171

      By Copernic · Posted

      Brave Browser 1.91.171 by Razvan Serea Brave Browser is a lightning-fast, secure web browser that stands out from the competition with its focus on privacy, security, and speed. With features like HTTPS Everywhere and built-in tracker blocking, Brave keeps your online activities safe from prying eyes. Brave is one of the safest browsers on the market today. It blocks third-party data storage. It protects from browser fingerprinting. And it does all this by default. Speed - Brave is built on Chromium, the same technology that powers Google Chrome, and is optimized for speed, providing a fast and responsive browsing experience. Brave Browser also features Brave Rewards, a system that rewards users with Basic Attention Tokens (BAT) for viewing opt-in ads. This innovative system provides an alternative revenue model for content creators and a way to support the Brave community. SlimBrave Neo takes all the good things about Brave and makes them even better by keeping everything clean, light, and privacy-focused. It removes the extra clutter, turns off features you might not need, and cuts down on anything that could slow you down or collect unnecessary data. Because it relies on simple settings and policies instead of modifying the browser itself, you still get full Brave compatibility—just in a smoother, lighter, and more privacy-friendly package. Brave Browser 1.91.171 changelog: General Fixed Cardano not being disabled on upgrade to Brave Origin. Upgraded Chromium to 149.0.7827.103. Origin Removed “Survey Panelist” setting from brave://settings/privacy. Fixed P3A and usage ping under brave://settings/privacy being displayed on first launch on Linux. Upgraded Chromium to 149.0.7827.103.

    • Can't access the forum on mobile

      By RaidenX · Posted

      Hi. As the title suggests, I can't access the forum on my phone. I'm using Edge on Android and when I try to navigate to the forum I get a "we value your privacy" popup and none of the buttons are clickable. It effectively stonewalls me from reading any forum content.
