Yup its there. Chrisgeleven. Here it is http://www.microsoft.com/windows/IE/ie7/ie7betaredirect.mspx. should have it there

Yep! Thats the one! Downloading now! Neowinian's are the BEST at finding information on the web! Better than Google! :D

Kinda sucks it was an older build... :(

I don't know about you guys, but whoever designed the UI should be shot.

1) No menu bar? That is going to confuse everyone. Not everyone knows that ctrl-c is copy for example. Not everyone is going to know how to turn it on.

2) Buttons scattered all over the place...no consistancy at all, requiring lots of mouse movement and guess work in order to find which button to use

Still trying it out, but the UI is very unimpressive.

It is official. The UI of IE 7 is the worst I have seen since the days of the Mozilla Suite and Netscape 6.x/7.x. At least those browsers didn't move everything around and completely change what is the proven way to use the web.

I fail to see what one UI change this has made that has actually speeded up or improved my experience.

Stop complaining. It'll grow on you. Just because you're not familiar with something does not make it bad. I've been using IE7 beta 1 / 2 for quite a while now and find that doing away with the menu bar is one of the best things that could have been done. Copy, Paste etc. can still be accessed via right click and most of the common tools and utilities can be accessed via buttons strategically places at the end of the tabs bar.

Ah found uninstall instructions:

Uninstalling Internet Explorer 7 Beta 2 Preview

To uninstall Internet Explorer 7 Beta 2 Preview and return to Internet Explorer 6 on Windows XP

# Click ?Start,? and then click ?Control Panel.?

# Click ?Add or Remove Programs.?

# Check ?Show Updates? at the top of the dialog box.

# Scroll down the list to ?Windows XP ? Software Updates,? select ?Internet Explorer 7 Beta 2Preview,? and then click "Change/Remove."

If "Internet Explorer 7 Beta 2 Preview" does not exist, run %windir%\$NtUninstallie7bet2p$\spuninst\spuninst.exe. You need to have "view hidden folders" enabled.

Alright well I think IE7 will bring some people back to Microsoft, but I'm still too attached to Opera to fully make the move. I must say it's not too shabby, but one thing that bugs me...

Is ActiveX still included and enabled? If so, doesn't that mean this browser isn't any more secure than any of the previous versions?

    • But building your own.. what? You can't build anything like the Steam Machine yourself. Even trying to get close costs a good deal more. Even just the CPU cooler in their price comparison is as big as the entire Steam Machine. If you want a regular gaming PC, then by all means, build that. If you want a a small console-like PC for the living room that is good for gaming, I'm not sure what else is a better deal. In the GN review, they only mentioned a small form factor Dell, which is like twice the size and hundreds of dollars more expensive.
    • Those are some popular multiplayer games. But hardly "all". Just those that don't work on Linux currently due to specific anti-cheat implementations. I think it's also fair to point out the literally thousands of games that don't work on the PS5. And it's not locked at 1080p. That's the default, which you can change.
    • Ubuntu Livepatch arrives on Arm64 to eliminate system reboots for kernel updates by Paul Hill Canonical has just announced that its Livepatch service now supports computers with Arm64 processors. For those who are not familiar, Livepatch allows users to apply important kernel updates without any service interruption or rebooting. While home users will benefit from this, it’s even more important for critical machines that absolutely should not be going offline at all. The feature is available as part of Ubuntu Core 26 for Arm64 and Ubuntu Core 20 and onwards for AMD64. According to Canonical, this will improve the security of systems that aren’t security-maintained daily or weekly, and it helps organizations work towards Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) compliance. If you are familiar with Ubuntu, you probably know that most packages can be updated without having to restart the system. There is one big exception to this, and that’s the kernel; it typically requires you to reload the system to boot into the new kernel. With Livepatch, Canonical has done something so that you don’t need to restart to begin using the new kernel. Aside from Ubuntu Core 26, users with Arm64 chips running Ubuntu 26.04 LTS can also use Livepatch. If you want to learn more about Livepatch, check out its product page. There, you can also find a button to join Ubuntu Pro (it’s free for several home devices) so that you can enable Livepatch. By linking your computer to Ubuntu Pro, you will also extend the life of your Ubuntu install from five years to ten years. If you are running Ubuntu, let us know in the comments if you have been looking forward to this feature on your ARM-based computer. If you’ve had a compatible AMD64 machine for a while and never used this feature, let us know why in the comments!
