IE7 Installed
I’ve been running an internal Microsoft build of IE7 for a while now, but it was nice to get my hands on the new Beta 2. Lots of big improvements, even from the October internal build I had. Tabs are much smoother, the rendering engine has finally been overhauled and lots of cool things under the hood.
I’m only about 10 minutes into my experience, but so far so good. My next task is to try feed reading in IE. We’ll see how that goes.
Between this and some of my new interface changes to my computer, I’m really digging my UI :)

Do they plan on having a public beta? Are they going to sell it when released, put it in Vista as the only form of distribution, or will it (gasp) be free?

It’s a public beta. Go here to get it. Sell it, no it’ll be free. Like every version of IE. It’ll be available for XP SP2 and Vista. :)

I just download IE7 Beta 2 or whatever it’s officially called a few hours ago.
It’s basically the equivilent of the Mozilla internet browser. Maybe a bit sleeker as far as appearance, but nothing too special.

Ah, that sucks. I’m a SP1 man myself. Always have hated SP2.. oh well. I’m also a FireFox man.
I don’t have a computer to test it on. I’d really like to check it out. Maybe if I’m bored enough, I’ll install SP2 using VMWare or something. Yeah, I hate SP2 that much.

I am really reluctant about installing it and temporarily sacrificing the ability to test in IE6. I’ve tried it as a .local install, but no luck so far.
