From TechNet Flash: 'As a result of customer feedback, IE7 Beta 3 contains some feature changes in addition to the planned reliability, compatibility, and security improvements. If you've previously installed a beta of IE7, you should uninstall it before installing this release.'

    "If Flight Simulator 2004 stops responding after you have installed Internet Explorer 7 Beta, find the oleacc.dll file in the Flight Simluator folder and rename it to oleacc.old. Then restart Flight Simulator."

      He expected to go back to IE6 and get work done until 7 was out of beta.

      It's Microsoft. What the heck should he expect? Competence?

    Sorry, but that gave me a chuckle. Reliability, compatibility and security are still in beta.

    Wait, wait, wait. A version of IE you can actually uninstall? Did I miss something here?

    Still... no... proper... box... model...? Not even and... option or something?

    Well, let me just say, as a web developer... FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK! FUCK YOU FUCKING MICROSOFT FUCKERS! ROT IN HELL YOU CHEAP IMITATION HACKS WHO COULDN'T PROGRAM YOURSELVES OUT OF A FUCKING BOX! (Whatever that means.)

    Okay. I needed that. Seriously, what the fuck have they been doing all this time? Pounding their dicks with mallets?

    How long has this piece of shit been in development? If this browser is any indication of Vista well... no wonder I haven't updated past 2000. There is so much nice stuff sitting in the CSS standard and it's largely being ignored. The IE team should die of gonorrhea and rot in hell.

    Internet Explorer Administration Kit 7 Beta 2 Looks like a real joy. Now every ISP can create their own rambling piece of crap like the Yahoo! browser!

    No kidding. I'd *LOVE* to be at a meeting where the web developer stood up and said "I know this new redesign looks like ass in IE, but that's IE's problem, not ours!"
