Internet Explorer 7 Beta 2 build 5291


Recommended Posts

i think its funny how people complain saying IE doesn't have this and that like firefox (or any other browser), then when Microsoft decides to put it in, they complain more saying they copied firefox (or any other browser) and can't come up with their own ideas.

Since people are saying that IE looks like FF, Opera, and Maxathon, I hereby conclude that:

1. Firefox looks like Opera.

2. Maxathon looks like Firefox.

3. All browsers look essentially the same.

and that

4. People bag Microsoft software just because it's Microsoft. I put my money on that they don't know why they hate Microsoft either.

looks like somebody (*cough* microsoft) is stealing from AOL...

AOL Explorer first featured that "Mosaic" feature which shows mini-previews of all the open tabs...except AOL does it better :) :) :)

Yeah I know the AOL Browser is far better than IE7.

i preferd the nice blueness that it does on vista, that was sweet, and i like the idea of having the tabs on the same line as some of the buttons *waits for someone to make a firefox extension that does it* :laugh:

all in all, il end up downloading it anyway, i use ie for windows update and my hotmail and even with all the new stuff il still be using firefox as my main browser

but atleast its getting closer, they should fo done this a wile ago

beta 1 looked awful. i think this looks pretty nice with the exception of the search button looking like it is too low in the button space and that the bottom got clipped. can't wait to try it out.

what the hell do you expect from microsoft i mean beta 1 come on look at beta 1 of vista

i think ie7 is on its way microsoft will finally have something right

its taken them time but fair go

i can't wait for beta 2 of ie 7 to come out

clearly its alot better then ie6 and covers alot of security issues

Firefox was a copy of IE :rolleyes:

And what features? Tabs? Firefox wasn't first with those. RSS reader? Not first. Search bar? Not first.

FF wasn't a copy of IE - it evoled from Mozilla which came from Netscape (Way before IE became popular)

And FF and Mozilla had most of thoses back in 2003 - Before they even thought of IE7.

i think its called Maxthon. :whistle:

Thanks to "theavidgeek" for sorting the source from which this news originated from :) I just like being appreciated for my work :) hehe

Anyway, let's hope this build get's released soon, it's still not known where the screens actually came from.. but apparently a very reliable source.

My understanding is that AOL Explorer uses whatever IE version you have installed (6.0 or 7.0).

I went to about and all I see is:

Nope, it's the latest beta build of AOL Explorer that uses IE7, I think you can get the beta from aol.com

There isn't a beta build of AOL Explorer. AOL Explorer 1.2 (the build in that screen shot) was release a couple of weeks ago.

I think QuickTabs is a great feature - if anyone can refer me to a FF extension that can do that, I'd appreciate it.

TabView = http://ted.mielczarek.org/code/mozilla/tabpreview/

Reveal = http://aluminum.sourmilk.net/reveal/

Foxpose = http://viamatic.com/index.php/firefox

I use Tabview the most.

The IE7 UI you see poking through in this concept shot is what would kill Firefox.

Wow, that concept shot looks very interesting. And nice.

The download manager could use some work, else fanboys here will just yell out "RIP OFF!" :rolleyes:

Why would it be fake?

It looks pretty much like the Vista version in 5270 with a few changes. It's not done yet, but I think they're moving in the right direction with it.

the right direction will be when the put the tabs UNDER the "file, edit, etc." bar. which is the proper way to do it ;)

    • 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.
