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)

    • I found that stability back then was really down to the motherboard manufacturer. Back then i stuck with Microstar motherboards and VIA chipsets as they were ultra reliable. Most stuff was done with jumpers and left little room for user created problems 👍
    • Yes, Scoop was created to promote Coreutils for Windows. You can still see early versions of their website on the Web Archive. It was a joke that nobody took seriously. Microsoft's implementation of Coreutils, however, are built in Rust.
    • Looks like EA's Star Wars Zero Company will be out this August by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Over a year ago, EA surprise announced that a team of former Firaxis members is working on a brand-new Star Wars game. Dubbed Zero Company, the title would have XCOM-like turn-based tactics gameplay as players manage a squad of professionals from all over the galaxy. Now, just ahead of an official announcement, it looks like the release date has leaked out. The upcoming Summer Game Fest presentation on Friday is when EA is supposed to show off the title's gameplay footage, with fans also expecting it to reveal a release date. However, the ever-reliable billbil-kun from Dealabs says they have already managed to find out when the game is coming out and what versions fans will have the option of purchasing. Per the leak, Star Wars Zero Company has an August 27, 2026, release date attached to it. The title is slated to release on PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5 with a $49.99 standard and $59.99 Deluxe edition. The leaker also adds that there won't be any early access perk attached to this special edition. Pre-orders could kick off alongside the official announcement this Friday, too. For those unfamiliar with the title, Bit Reactor is developing Star Wars Zero Company with help from Respawn Entertainment and Lucasfilm Games. The EA-published title is said to be set during the "twilight of the Clone Wars." We will have to wait and see if base building and management mechanics from the XCOM series will be present here, too. "You will step into the shoes of Hawks, a former Republic officer who leads Zero Company — an unconventional outfit of professionals for hire hailing from across the galaxy," reads the game description. "Hawks and Zero Company are recruited for an operation that pits them against an emerging threat that will consume the galaxy if left unchecked. To succeed, Hawks will lead a team of uneasy allies who must set aside their differences to overcome nearly impossible odds." You can catch the Star Wars Zero Company extended gameplay reveal at the Summer Game Fest showcase that's kicking off on Friday at 2 pm PT / 5 pm ET.
    • All their other games always had a new cast and new story, so that's not very surprising. The new dev is worrisome though.
