Internet explorer 7 beta 2

If anyone is game, can be downloaded from here

Features include:

new interface
tabbed browsing
builtin web searches
RSS actually works
new security features

Overall first impression, looks OK but time will tell.

One thing I forgot to mention, if your not running a legit copy of windows, then dont bother downloading and trying to install. The window validation tool is run first. Looks like this might be a sign of the times with microsoft products from now on.

Doh!!!

Thought I'd give it a try on my (expendable) work machine... followed the link, downloaded and ran the installer... got an error - WTF!

Then I remembered I was reading the forum via remote desktop on my server in Germany - WinServer2003, so I was trying to install IE7 remotely. Good job my security pulled me up short

Anyway, gotta go restart the (local) machine now...

It is.. Thats why I would never use a cracked version of windows only a keygen version..

With the XP keygen and using a unique key generated for each install it passes validation..

Windows now have "Defender" as software you can download for added protection. I'm not sure whether this is incorporated inside the new browser or not, but can be downloaded separately.

I find it diffucult to move away from crazy browser which is a 'wrapper' around IE that provides tabbed browsing, grouping of URL's, etc.
Must give this new version a try though ...
