Internet Explorer 7 Beta 2 build 5291


Recommended Posts

yes but that was Beta 1 this is Beta 2 that beta 1 is over almost 6 months old alot has changed since then.

Quoi?

That screenshot is from build 5270, the December CTP. Notice how the RSS is :x, the home icon is from XP, the Favourites (or the new tab button?) is in the XP style, and so on.

Vista icons on XP - never before has IE had it's own icons - on W2K IE6 uses the W2K icons not XP one's.

IE 7 users who visit google.com get a little thing saying 'add google to your search bar'. Simiarly, Firefox users who visit yahoo get a little thing saying make us default search...

And by changing your UA String you can get it to say anything.

well a) it's NOT fake (page 2 theres a link to a microsoft page, that EVEN SAYS 5291 OR HIGHER, its called reading), b) It also gives us the knowledge of what build vista is at currently, im thinking that vista beta 2 will be 5300? eh nvm but looks good!

Just because the existence of build 5291 is confirmed, doesn't mean that the screenshot is real. Photoshop is a very powerful tool. It's child's play to change the numbers in a picture.

I actually really, like the new look. OK, its not as good as the Vista Beta2 concept picture showed it off as (tabs were flat and small, and a nice blue shade. Looked very professional and gorgeous). I still think its miles better than IE6, though.

And the new icons are a welcome addition. IE has looked like it was made for 9X systems for too long.

Don't like the overall layout, but in an effort to be as impartial as possible, I can say that I do like the option of previewing all web pages from the same window (different tabs) from right within Internet Explorer. I hope Mozilla and Apple steal those ideas for the next versions of their browsers, LOL! :D

    • Microsoft brings Planner Agent to all Microsoft 365 Copilot users by Ivan Jenic Image: Microsoft Microsoft has announced that Planner Agent in Microsoft 365 Copilot is now generally available to all users with a Microsoft 365 Copilot license. Planner Agent is the latest addition in the string of AI features that Microsoft is implementing across virtually all of its products. The agent lets you manage tasks through natural language prompts directly inside Microsoft 365 Copilot. You can create and update tasks, check priorities, and get insights about current entries without leaving the chat interface. The general availability release comes with a handful of new additions on top of what was available during the initial rollout. A new plan picker lets you search and filter your plans by name, then update task names, statuses, due dates, or priorities through the agent. There's also a goals bucket now, which lets you group tasks under specific goals. This builds on the Goals view, a feature that was introduced as part of the broader Planner refresh that rolled out earlier. Image: Microsoft | Planner Agent in Microsoft 365 Copilot All AI-generated plans and tasks are created in draft mode by default, so you can review and approve changes before anything goes through. This is actually a thoughtful safety feature, because trusting AI to handle all your tasks without a human in the loop is usually a recipe for disaster. Having tasks initially saved as drafts is the best possible middle ground. Microsoft also says that not all tasks are executed equally. Simple tasks get processed quickly, while more complex ones, like building a plan from a Word, Excel, or PowerPoint file, are handed to a more capable model. Microsoft says this approach delivers the best performance, but it could also help with usage management, as you won't have to waste tokens on performing simple tasks. Planner Agent is available now across Teams, Loop, SharePoint, and other Microsoft 365 apps for anyone on a Microsoft 365 Copilot subscription.
    • To be clear I'm anti trump, the bigger point is why review this game at all?
    • Trillion dollar Microsoft has to reduce spending by hurting more people. Good job Microsoft. Good Job Asha.
    • That's a shame. The big Xbox reset when Phil and Sarah left and then Asha came on and brought a new team of executives, and all the layoffs last year and saying that the ABK merger wouldn't result in redundancies I am surprised they are calling for yet another reset and yet more layoffs.
    • Arkane, Ninja Theory, and Double Fine might be on the chopping block too.
