IE7 beta one released

[Spud1]

Anyone lucky enough to have a MSDN subscription (or know someone that has one ) can grab it now.

I've installed it and had a quick play but got to go to work now ;/ Anyway took a few screenies for you - think its ok to post as its a MSDN download not a leak or anything.

Does not look as nice as firefox and I hate the toolbar but I am sure that can be changed.

[Howard]

You can't move the toolbar. I hate it's current layout. There's no stop button and the favourites don't scroll

[herulach]

Run dont walk from the horror that is MS Beta software!

[directhex]

ok, and things that, like, matter? does it even remotely handle CSS or PNG yet?

[Howard]

Yes because the usability counts just as much...


Edit: Seems to handle the PNGs on my website better though

Looks the same as it does in Firefox now

looks like a firefox wannabe to me, why arnt the file, edit and help drop down menus at the top like everyother windows program ever made? instead they put them on every tab, i find it hard enough clicking on each tab in firefox, i think im gunna end up clicking on all the file menus by accident all the time, and at the moment i cant see me using it anyway, i'm learning very much towards open source everything on my pc, i have the longhorn (vista) beta downloading now, if its spectaular i will stick with it other wise i'll switch to linux and keep xp for gaming.
