QUOTE(None @ Mar 30 2006, 11:27 AM) I have heard, that the security is not so good, as they are advertising. Still, after IE 7, is mozilla firefox better. Firefox it really has security, IE 7 not, im depressed, that they haven't also made the best work, what they could do. Well, any way IE 7 is worth trying, and when the finall version it will come, we will try it. I see also, that they have stolen the tabbing Yeah, but Firefox stole tabbed browsing as well!

This is kinda old already... but since I couldn't find a post about it, I'm gonna let you know anyways.

Microsoft has released the beta of Internet Explorer 7 to the public. The latest build is from March 20th and can be found here. IE now finally includes tabbed browsing and a lot of other features. It also will be separted from Windows Explorer in the upcoming Vista OS!

During the installation one needs to validate one's Windows version through Microsofts Genuine Advantage Tool. Since this is known to sometimes cause trouble and not validate legal users and for all those who prefer to install new software (especially from MS) while offline, here is a workaround from the jcxp.net forums:



And here is a link to the whole topic: Internet Explorer 7 Build 5299 (Beta 2 Preview), Screenshots, ***NO Download Links!***

Personally I think its a step in the right direction but a lot still remains to be done. I'm not gonna get rid of Firefox anytime soon. It's still nice to be up-to-date

Well in that case I guess my post is redundant but I ran a search for "Internet Explorer Beta" and the first 3 pages did not turn up anything related...

To me it looks like Microsoft just stole a version of Firefox, added a few features and made it their own. After looking at the features of the software I was both impressed and unimpressed. I was impressed because they have added all these new security features to it and I think that will make IE a safer browser. I was unimpressed because some of these security features are only available in the new version of Windows. This software is going to be buggy like all Microsoft software because they never fully develope anything so it will not be secure even with the new features

Amen! I'm fed up woth Microsuck copying things from other people BADLY! I wont download the BETA version, I probably wont download it untill about a week after ts release so then they've had a chance to release about a million security updates to fix holes their 'programmers' didnt even know exsisted I dont have much choice other than to download it at some point though if I want to develop any websites I have to test, which is annoying. This topic is the first ive heard of it to be honest but from what's here i cant see that IE7 is worth the hard disk space it sits on. Altough it might not be all bad. As said competition is usually good and I bet as we speak the firefox gurus are meditating to a higher plane to consolidate with FireGod about a new version of firefox that wi lbe even better than the last version and a million times better than IE7, which is great because then we'll have an even better toy to play with

And a strength of IE7.........erm....nope sorry!

Also I barely trust the official releases of Microsuck's products let alone the BETA ones, XP completely killed my laptop and that was an official, legal copy! Grr

I prefer Mozilla Firefox as my best browser. Although I don't mind Opera, Netscape, Mozilla, SeaMonkey. I use Avant and Maxthon to play games and Amaya to design webpages. I don't like IE at all.

Does anyone here know how to run IE 6 and IE 7 independantly? If you want, I can tell you.

I think that the Windows Internet Explorer 7 wil be released in November 2006.

Please do not give illegal downloading links to BETA software.

I recommend using Firefox or Opera. Maxthon, Netscape, Avant Browser, Mozilla and SeaMonkey are also good choices. They are better than Internet Explorer.

Internet Explorer 6 has too many security holes.
