Internet Explorer 7 (beta)

Anyone try it yet?
Just downloaded it and am trying it out now.
Very different. Coolest thing I have found so far is that they have added tabbed browsing

Remember, it is a BETA!

Been using it for around 6 months now. Still prefer Opera and Firefox.

Interesting. Might have to try that on the school's comps before mine.

I've been using it for about a month and love it. I'm not a Microsoft basher like most. I think it's a great improvement.

At home I had to reinstall it. The first time when I would do tabbed browsing, if I would try to close any of the tabs, it would shut down IE. Reinstalling it fixed it.

Firefox has tabbed browsing. It'll be good when the bugs are gone. I've been testing the new windows,Vista, for a while, and if you want to use the full features prepare to buy a whole new pc. Just food for thought. It has a lot to do with the whole blu-ray, hd-dvd copy protection thing and HDMI. Sorry to hijack will shut up now

It has the look and feel of Firefox and Apple's Camino

Been testing for ~6 months as well. Initial take was that MS pulled off the firefox look exactly. Even middle clicking works to open and close new tabs. I'm still using FF for the daily use and IE7 for testing. I love firefox's built-in ad-blocking profile in Chrome, something that I haven't found in ie7.

Opera has had tabbed browsing for years.

With an MSN plugin IE has had tabbed browsing for a couple years..

Theres a long long long list of great features beyond the dated tabbed browsing.

CSS improvements, group policy support, parental controls, automatic page sizing for printing... oh the goodies in IE7!
