Ie 7

Anyone try out the new Internet Explorer Beta 2? Not that I'm surprised since everyone copies off of each other, but it looks strikingly familar to Firefox and Opera. It's available for public download now so everyone can try it out. Here's the link: http://www.pcworld.com/resource/article/0,aid,124542,pg,1,RSS,RSS,00.asp#

Got it running...cleaner interface than 6.0, tabs, new pagezoom feature. Pretty nice, but I am a Firefox user

amen, but im gonna try it out. see if i like it.

edit: i tried it out. and its basically the same as firefox just with a cool skin, that u can probably download for firefox. firefox still seems faster for me.

its alrite. been using it ever since it wasn't a public release. dont see much of a difference except the new tabs

I would have to say that it is a huge improvement over IE 6 with the tabbed browsing, cleaner interface and security improvements, but its not gonna make me switch from Firefox. The only thing that IE6 has that Firefox doesn't (I believe) is that page zoom feature which can be added to Firefox as an extension.

I know it's just a beta but it should take a little longer than 15 minutes to find a bug in the code. Check this out: http://www.pcworld.com/resource/article/0,aid,124595,pg,1,RSS,RSS,00.asp
