The way I understand it Beta means that it somewhat works but still has problems. Someone releases a beta to get help with fixing it and/or to shut people up on when it'll be out. I don't hate MS like some here do and I love Macs but come on... this is MS and bugs should be expected. The real question is if they will fix all the problems that people find before sending IE7 to retail. I am just glad that they are bringing their browser up to date a bit since most of the world, like it or not, is going to design their sites for the current version of IE primarily and then cater to those of us who love Firefox and Safari later (or never).

Pardon my ignorance, but will you elaborate on this some more?
