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?

    • TLDR. Here is a far better title (just a basic example): Windows 11 26H2 to allow disabling Web search results
    • Restore will get my vote, only if to see if things are any different, doubt it though but Labour and Conservatives too out of touch and same thing over and over and over…, Lib Dem who?
    • There is nothing wrong with this title. You have completely missed the plot when it comes to "clickbait." The issue was never that a title tries to entice you to click, that is how titles have worked for over 100 years. The issue is when the title subverts expectations, getting you to click expecting something that isn't there. The classic clickbait example is "Boyfriend caught cheating, what happens next will shock you," then what happened next is the girlfriend was upset...which is probably the least shocking outcome imaginable. If sounds like what you want is for the titles to be a collection of 10-word summaries that you can skim, get the just of the story, and only click if you want more details. That is not, never has been, and never will be what titles are. You can go all the way back to print newspapers during the great depression and see the same thing. The newspaper was locked in a vending machine, all you can see is the headline, you choose to put in 5¢ to buy the paper and read the rest if you want. Those headlines were written in a way to sell the paper, not just to provide a summery. Here are two actual headlines from that time, "Wall Street Lays an Egg," or "Stocks Hit Bottom?" Maybe you'd say something like "it was wrong then and it's still wrong now." Okay, fine opinion to have, but it isn't like Neowin is doing something unjurnalistic, they are just following the age-old standards for written media.
    • AMD 26.6.2 driver brings FSR 4.1 support to RDNA 3 RX 7000 series graphics cards by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe A new driver is rolling out to Radeon graphics hardware owners, and alongside support for new games, AMD has just made its FSR 4.1 upscaling tech available to an entire generation of its products.
