Have installed it and it seems to be running fine so far. Like others have said, its going to take awhile to get used to the new layout.

First thing I did was disable the stupid tabs.

its from microsoft, its not leaked...you CAN download it legally..beta 2.

[scaramonga]

and still no xp64 version

For those that want to try IE7 on x64............... :)

* Extract IE7B2P-WindowsXP-x86-enu.exe to a temporary folder.

* Working within' the extracted directory, delete the following:

o update\

o install.ins

o spmsg.dll

o spuninst.exe

o spupdsvc.exe

* Create a blank text file within' the directory and rename it to iexplore.exe.local.

* Move the directory to a location in which you want to store the now standalone version of Internet Explorer 7 Preview (eg. X\IE7 BETA2).

* Execute iexplore.exe.

Works great! :D :yes:

i dont understand people like you...whats the point of ie 7 if you dont use tabs.

First thing I did was disable the stupid tabs.

so you like 15 minimized windows on your taskbar? For me IE7 is way faster then firefox and faster then opera. Unfortunately there isnt a bookmark bar or a zoom function, so back to opera I go

[ThisSiteHasLostItsCharm]

think i'll stick with 5299, can't be much difference.

[Chosen One]

hey just wondering is there's a addon somewhere that adds a download manager to it something similar to the firefox one

or u can just show/hide it by pressing Ctrl + Alt ..

[Jazket]

there is no download manager available yet for any of the builds (with this I mean, the XP build and the one included with the latest Vista build).

... and I don't know what the hell is Microsoft doing about this....

There is a zoom function at the bottom right of the window. It's a magnifying glass.

The bookmark bar is the star button to the left of the tab bar.

But im having a problem installing it, I'm stuck at 50%

[JMann Veteran]

Mine was working fine after reboot so maybe...

Overall, I like it but it does render some webpages incorrectly for example MSN.co.uk on my one its a tad all over the place, its good and seems to work well just a tad hard trying to get used to it. ;)

Me too, tabs suck.

Seems like most people upgrade to IE 7 cuz it has tabs, although IE 6 could have had tabs all along too.

[Purple Haze]

Wow, this thing is hideous and almost unuseable. I'm sticking w/ Firefox.

[virgo89]

although IE 6 could have had tabs all along too

Mind telling me how?

[Nocturna1]

In regards to IE6 w/tabs, he's referring to using a third party add-on, it was never native like with IE7.

[GaMeDtX]

Ehh IE7 seems kinda dull to me... its not integrated to the xp UI as it is integrated more to the vista UI.

Its still ok... I will use it within Vista for sure but I dont know about XP...

[Deadlydread]

For some reason mine wont show the tab bar. it will show quick tabs, but not a tab bar to switch between tabs.
