Text in IE7 beta 2 looks washed out

[killkoy]

does anyone else get this, example pictures shown below

first one is the ie beta, the second one is the firefox one, for comparison

that would be the new font calibri, which looks really bad if not scaled properly.

change the default san-serif font to arial or something

IE7 also adds a fair amount of anti-aliasing which apparently makes things look nicer and easier to read. Have you compared the IE7 in Vista to the IE7 Beta in XP? I presume it'd come out pretty similar, I use Firefox and I really don't like the look (and rendering) of IE7 now.

if this is what aa does to ie i dont like it

however there are several things i do like about ie7.
i like the way you can specify more than one homepage to appear in separate tabs. i also like the tabs thumbnails thing, makes it easier to navigate if youve gone mad with the tab opening button
And i like the way the favourites menu works.

I think you can disable anti-aliasing in the IE options. It took a bit of getting used to, but I like it now.

in firefox, where you enter your homepage, enter multiple url's seperated by a ;
