Microsoft IE 7 Goes (More) Beta

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the what-did-they-break-this-time dept.

Hans W. Smith writes "Microsoft has unveiled Internet Explorer 7, releasing the new "preview" version of its Web browser to the general public for testing. The latest version works only with Windows XP Service Pack 2 and includes many of the features Microsoft has been touting for months such as: privacy protection,tabbed browsing and a search box similar to Firefox. They tried to outdo Firefox tab browsing with a feature call Quick tab which shows thumbnail view of all open tabs in a single window." Yup, you saw it yesterday. Posting before coffee never works.

  4. Hmm, where have I seen this before? by prisoner-of-enigma · · Score: -1, Redundant

    Oh, that's right, I've seen it here.

    I can understand the occasional dupe, but this is silly. The "IE7 Goes Public" link is quite visible on the right side of the page in Yesterday's News. Further, this isn't exactly a minor story, which means somebody at /. should've remembered it.

    Slow news day perhaps?
