yeah that is quite disgraceful i agree :(

[Crazysah]

Has this version been officially released?

[JustGeorge]

yeah that is quite disgraceful i agree :(

Doesn't really matter since Macromedia won't get off their lazy asses and compile a 64-bit flash plugin. My god, would it be that hard?

[Unimatrix Xero]

i personally really like the new beta 2... if you dont like it just uninstall it simple!

[_I am Reptar]

[Tech_Dude_5000]

Bad screenshots , the color is all messed up, I have the leaked 5299 bulid, and I't works fine, with a few minor problems, but thats for another thread so i'll stop there.

I have a question to microsoft.

Why does everyone on the net except for beta testers have this?

What is the purpose of having beta testers and a beta program if the beta testers need to obtain beta's from enthusiast sites?!

[smooths*]

It wasn't meant to leak, it was an internal beta that some guy handed over.. stupid idea yes..

[Leddy]

Exactly. The google toolbar is such a waste with built-in search compatibility in every browser :p

I hope you're joking with the sarcasm. When the google toolbar is installed, the search box on the top right of the IE7 interface can use Google.

I think you can turn it off to hide it. Well I hope so. This would be in keeping with Vista's window layouts where the menu bars (File, Edit, View etc) are hidden by default and you can choose to display them.

E.g.

You can. By default, the menus only show if you hold down alt. It looks weird on XP, but it'll look great on Vista.

A complete rip of Opera and Firefox browser why should i waist my time downloading or using it. All those features been on FIREFOX and OPERA for a long time StopIE please

Yeah yeah yeah yeah blah blah blah. Did I mention that Firefox ripped the address bar from a prior browser?

The resource usage seems horrible according to the screeshots.

How can you tell the resource usage from a screenshot that doesn't have Task Manager open? Don't be a stereotypical Firefox fanboy, please.

In 2006, most people don't have more than 3GBs of RAM in their systems. If you have less than 3GBs, and are running on 64bit processors then you're wasting your money, because the 64bit extensions are completely redundant.

Well its been along time FIREFOX managed to put and create some features that IE or any other browser didnt even no what it was so stopIE please but hey i cant force you to not use IE its your choice and yeah yeah yeah stop talking about FF ripping its M$ rippinng us our genuine work and making it Public release

I think IE 7 will be a better browser than FF but I don't think FF is going to die anytime soon!

[actrix]

IE7 is so much popular beacuse there are so many n00bs out there that dont use FF or its alot better for us to let them get hacked not us
