alrighty, am I to assume that this will replace IE6 on my Machine? I figure it will, and probably won't install it here at work, *shouldn't do that anyway*, but who knows. I was kind of hoping it would work as it's own separate program rather than replace what I've got.

If it does replace it, is there an uninstall that will get it back to normal?

In the Advanced tab of the options, none of the radio buttons work properly. Well they do work, but they all appear blank.

Another bug is that the RSS reader is useless. It would be only useful on websites which only have an RSS feed and not a full website. And I'm not sure there are many.

Also, if there is only one tab left, you can't close it. You should be able to click close and the website will dissapear and be replaced with about:blank.

Actually, there is an easier way to use IE7beta on Spanish (or other non-English) systems than the one someone posted a while ago.

It involves editing update.inf in the update folder.

1) Save a spare copy of update.inf

2) Edit the original update.inf

Locate: LanguageType = %LangTypeValue%

Replace with: LanguageType = ES

3) Save the file.

4) Begin install by running update.exe

5) When the splash screen appears and before clicking Next, overwrite update.inf with the original file you saved in another folder.

6) Install

(Note: replace ES with your regional code, for example FR for France and so on)

This worked for me. Well I'm glad to see that all my sites look OK in the new IE, but I wonder if there have been any actual changes in the IE7 engine or not. Try to open an FTP site - it will open a new IE6 window!!!

Apart from that, changing between tabs is blazing fast, it starts faster than Firefox and, even though it looks a bit funny, you get used to it. Not a single crash since install.

CTRL + W closes the tab...but faster is to:

middle click on the tab and it will close...

or right click the tab and choose close tab :D

Used it for 20 minutes, feels good, GUI needs changing, though not bad IMHO, don't see a refresh button also I noticed that my ghost surf vault stopped working, but feels faster than v6 I.E.

The Phishing module seems to be active, though with this in mind would nice that a little mouse over alert would tell me what I should expect.

      Agreed. And this is a great discount offer! It's a shame that there's no discount offer option for people who would be fine subscribing for a year-long term, but pay monthly.
    • A Warhammer 40K racing game and a chess roguelike are free to claim on the Epic Games Store

      A Warhammer 40K racing game and a chess roguelike are free to claim on the Epic Games Store by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The Epic Games Store has returned to its standard giveaway procedures after weeks of mystery freebies. The latest drop is replacing last week's Rogue Waters and Songs of Conquest games and has brought in a double giveaway offering Warhammer 40K Speed Freeks and The Ouroboros King. As always, the game is yours to add permanently to your Epic Games Store library within the next seven days. From the duo, Warhammer 40K Speed Freeks lands from developer Caged Element, and it's a racing game that was only released last year. The title has you piloting Ork buggies, tanks, and aircraft modeled after the popular tabletop miniatures. The focus is on multiplayer mayhem, offering multiple game modes that have you fighting other players as everyone tries to survive and get across finish lines or destroy mechs. Crossplay support between PC and consoles has now arrived as part of a free update, too, giving a boost to matchmaking times for this multiplayer-focused title. If racing carnage isn't your thing, then The Ouroboros King offers tactics. The indie title is a mashup of chess and standard roguelike experience, letting players create their own armies to defeat an enemy faction, all on the familiar checkered board. There is a procedurally generated map, pieces with special abilities, relics that bend the game's rules to make overpowered builds, and more. The newly available Warhammer 40K Speed Freeks and The Ouroboros King giveaways on the Epic Games Store are set to run until June 11, giving PC gamers seven days to claim the latest offer. Once this closes out, a new freebie will take its place on the same day. Don't forget that mobile gamers can check out the Epic Game Store's weekly giveaways on Android and iOS to grab a freebie there as well.
