Nice.

Do we know when it'll be released properly?

Otacon · 25 Apr 2006 at 14:36

With Vista probably.

Cant believe they are not supporting Win2K with IE7

Thats a real finger up at all the businesses out there that still use 2K due to the fact that there is no reason to change.

So MS's answer? make em change

Otacon · 25 Apr 2006 at 14:43

Microsoft are trying to do all they can to make people jump off 2000. They dont want to be supporting it forever... though I'm sure the extra licensing moola is a 'small' factor in this

Anyone try to install this Beta 2? Tells me on mine that I already have it installed :confused:

I have IE7 installed, but got that like a few months ago :confused:

you need to uninstall the beta 2 preview that you have installed.

Is the Outlook Express bug fixed with this version of IE7? ie. where clicking on a link in an email does not automatically open your default browser and go to the page.

chimaera · 26 Apr 2006 at 12:23

For some reason it takes ages to open my homepage at initial startup, its connecting for a good 10 seconds then loads the page instantly, after that it runs perfectly.

Very odd :confused:

Pyrosoft · 26 Apr 2006 at 12:38

I've just installed it.
I am now typing to you from within IE7, and i have to say that i do like it a lot.
The imediate thing that I am liking straight away is how you can open a new tab in it, very handy

I like Microsoft

{edit}
But Noooooo!
I cant access Yahoo Mail beta now!
darn all these beta's floating about.
Back to Firefox for me

ozzyDe · 26 Apr 2006 at 15:58

Mozilla firefox dose it all, very good Browser with some cool plugins,
but saying that I am just about to try IE7 bt. see how it Compares to FF.

cheers

dirtydog · 26 Apr 2006 at 16:53

I tried it myself and the Outlook Express bug still exists :rolleyes:

Uninstalled it, it's the same rubbish as before.
