Internet Explorer 7 beta 2 public preview available for download... 🙂

I'm using it, and I love it. There are still a few bugs here and there that cause some abnomolies on some sites, or doesn't render the page correctly at all. But those are few and far between. I'm running smoothly 96% of the time. And even though I used to bash tabbed browsing only because the Firefox whores loved to use it in their superiority complex during arguements, I'm rather enjoying it tremendously. It's better implemented with IE7 than in FF.

My history never worked right, so I uninstalled it. That was my only gripe, but it was a big one.

IE7 is the biggest pile of crap... hard to use, slow as hell.

I used it for awhile, but there's a bug in it when it comes with *.chm help files. I downloaded a help file online from Creative for my Audigy2 sound card, and no matter what I did, it won't open (and yes, I did go into properties to unlock it, but even then it didn't open). I downgraded back to IE6, and the help file worked fine.

It was just annoying, that's all. Creative didn't have a pdf version of the help manual.

It's better than IE6 but I still don't like it. The tabs are nice, but Firefox has a better feel to it...

i have been using it for a while. i have not come across any 'bugs' but there are some FF extensions that I have become spoiled by.

Hell no.

How does it compare to FF?

If it's relatively bugless I'm ready to make the jump now from IE6.

I'll stick with ff. Extensions FTW!

Honestly, I wouldn't quite do it yet. Wait for another refresh maybe in another month or two.

I would jump from FF but I would need adblock, F2/F3 tab switching, mouse gestures at the bare minimum.

I tried it a while back, and IMHO FF & Opera are still better.

Okay, I'll take your word for it!
