Microsoft Internet Explorer 7 RC1


Recommended Posts

look the same as beta 3, abeit a few icon changes on dialog boxes

So they still haven't sorted out that messy looking interface then? At first I liked it, but now the novelty has wore off I think it looks ugly. It also steals valuable space for tabs too.

lovin it. no issues at all. installed smoothly, although i have never had an issue with ie but its nice to know i still dont.

arumalla are you running valid cause i know some people that alter the setup to bypass validation lose tab function.

I lost the Tabbed Browsing capability, as I updated it from Beta 3. it automatically uninstalled Beta 3 and restarted and installed RC1. now i don't see the option or the functionality for Tabbed browsing....

Did I miss something???

How did you install it? Did you extract the exe and run update.exe?

Turn it on under Options, Tabs, if its not enabled by default.

after installing ie7 beta3 at monday and now installing rc1 i see a almost no difference

so far ie7 it seems stable and better that previous beta 1 release, the only thing that really bother me its the placement of stop and reload buttons also the menu bar, i would really like that ie7 could be more customizable in that aspect, also people miss the old interface and i bet that more people wont upgrade because everythings changed so much that people wont know how to use it.

Microsoft should give users an option to switch to classic ie theme and also allow us to customize the placement of the buttons, if i want or not a search bar many things that firefox got and ie6 have more customization that ie7 lacks

Hardly messy if you ask me.

IE7 RC1

2 things I do wish for though, a way of getting rid of the search field ...I never use those in IE or in Firefox. Also, a bit more flexibility for customizing the UI would be nice, but it's not the end of the world. I only ever use IE7 for Windows Update anyways. (and in Vista you won't even need to)

    • The Trump administration doesn't want you to use OpenAI's GPT-5.6 without its approval by David Uzondu Image via @realDonalTrump (X) As OpenAI prepares the release of its next model, GPT 5.6, the White House has instructed the company to limit the distribution of the software to a small group of government-approved partners instead of the general public, as it has done with previous releases. According to The Information, OpenAI Chief Executive Officer Sam Altman sent an internal memo to staff on Thursday explaining that the federal government will approve access "customer by customer" during an initial preview phase. Altman noted in the communication that this restrictive rollout is "not [their] long-term model" for software deployment, and the company plans to work toward a "more sustainable" distribution method later. CNN said that both OpenAI and the Trump administration view the capabilities of GPT 5.6 on the same level as Anthropic's Mythos and that government officials intend to "collaborate with frontier AI labs to develop shared approaches for addressing the challenges of scaling this technology." The latest restriction comes just weeks after the US Commerce Department decided to restrict Fable, a version of Mythos with extra safety "guardrails" to prevent users from exploiting software vulnerabilities. Not long after the release, though, researchers at Amazon found a way to bypass these restrictions, prompting an aggressive response from federal authorities. The government ordered Anthropic to cut off access for non-US citizens located outside the US, non-US citizens living inside the US, and incredibly, even Anthropic's own foreign-born employees. Anthropic now appears to be building a workaround to resolve this compliance block with an update to its Privacy Policy that introduces a category called "Verification Data" to handle KYC and Digital IDs. This setup could mandate digital identity checks to filter users by nationality, requiring a government-issued ID and facial biometric data. Who knows? Maybe in the future, you would have to scan your US Passport or State ID to prove your citizenship before you are allowed to chat with Fable 5 (or any other model).
    • When Windows 7 was released I created an AutoHotkey script that uses Alt+` as a keyboard shortcut to move a window across monitors. I have been using that script for over 15 years and this is the first time I have come across another app that uses the same shortcut!
    • I called it last year that they wouldn't end support when they said there would. There are too many people still on Windows 10 waiting for something better to upgrade to and 11 ain't it! The recent promises of fixing Windows 11's many problems is nice, but unless they deliver on those promises in a big way then I expect customers will still want to stick with 10.
