IE7 Beta2 Preview Available

Anyone who wants to have a look at IE7, for dev or just to see whats its like, you can download it here.

Its only for XP SP2 and some features have been disabled, but it should be an interesting first look for the public.

I don't particularly like the interface at first glance. The unexpected removal of the standard File menu bar in particular confused me - or is that due to the beta status?

Nope. Thats how its going to look in the final version.

Like you I don't think the interface is all that, but I'm gonna carry on using it for a while.

Well, the final version is (according to M$) set to come out at the end of this year, so there will be plenty of time for them to release more betas with more features.

I think for beta 2, it isn't all that bad. It could do with some improving, but if M$ keep on this track, they might end up with a pretty decent browser.

Yeah, just go to add/remove programs and remove it from there.

[Edit] Make sure you tick the show updates option as well so you can see it.
