Internet Explorer 7 Beta
Has anyone installed and played with IE 7 Beta yet? After viewing some of its new features at the Microsoft CES Keynote, I’d thought I’d give it a chance.
“My first impression, the logo is uglier than before (see above image). Over all though, the interface is a little better than before. Atleast they FINALLY picked up tabbed browsing. As far as adhering to web standards, I haven’t noticed any major quirks, but I haven’t put it through the ringer yet.
One really cool feature that I just love is the Tab Preview Button. If you have multiple tabs open, you can look just to the left of the left-most tab and you’ll see and icon of 4 boxes. Clicking on that icon takes you to a page of preview shots of all the tabs you have open. I’m surprised I haven’t seen this implemented into Firefox as an extension yet. If you can’t seem to go on with life until you have Internet Explorer 7 Beta installed on your machine, you can download it here.

This browser is definitely a start for Microsoft, and I like the functionality they’re trying to implement into it. But like you, I’m curious to see if they’ve changed their attitude about known web standards compatibility issues that have plagued them in past builds of IE. If they could get past that, they might have a decent product. Not that I’ll be using it…
