IE7
« on: January 20, 2006, 09:34:25 PM »
Hum,
i just installed the beta Internet.Explorer.7.Build.5299 (11Mb)

Download: link Removed (PM Me)
Note you need a Genuine Copy of Windows XP


Expand

Quite a few  intresting features and omissions from the browser.
And reasonably stable, it only crashed after 15 minutes when it tried a shockwave file...not that would i surf with it anyway...

Hum,
yeah i am wary of any binary,
But this one was virus scanned and internet traffic watched.

So it seems cool to test...

Just download if you use firefox or opera to do the real surfing.

@koaftder
Hum,
Well it`s not a 100%

But i guess that is the risk with anything you install, even from MS.

you could always block it totally with a firewall just to test - afterall it is a beta anyway.
(noone should be using IE to surf anyway....)

The real thing is just a few months away.

Hum,
well after a bit more testing i discovered that it isn't as memory intensive, and faster than the old ie6.

The stability issues i experience at the beginning  have gone , though that may just be because of luck.

I've had to do  a bit of hacking  to get it to work as i want; such as i installed a google search option , and remove some `this is a beta` text.

[color=ff00ff]For example, on `certain` machines,  to remove the text that has appeared at the bottom of  your desktop after you installed IE7:

Delete these entries (regedit):
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\SystemCertificates\CA\Certificates\FEE449EE0E3965A5246F000E87FDE2A065FD89D4
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\SystemCertificates\ROOT\Certificates\2BD63D28D7BCD0E251195AEB519243C13142EBC3

This will remove the root certificate, and stop the text from appearing.
[/color]

Overall i would say that the finished job with RSS, Tabs, search tool, anti phishing, will be just the same as Firefox.

Microsoft has made available their latest beta preview build of their Internet Explorer 7.0 web browser.

"Evaluation of Internet Explorer 7 should start now, but the software should not be used on production systems in mission-critical environments. Internet Explorer 7 Beta 2 Preview will only run on Windows® XP Service Pack 2 (SP2) systems, but will ultimately be available for Windows Vista, Windows XP Professional x64 Edition, and Windows Server 2003."

(Remember that its still beta...)

Hummm,
As an update, the official release version is build 5296.
The leaked version is build 5299....

And it seems that you can`t officially validate (install) the leaked version anymore... (there are ways round this of course)..

Hum,
The anti-phishing feature  and locking  of the toolbar is a good feature in principle...

I noticed that a security vulnerability in the Beta 2 Preview release of Internet Explorer 7 has already been found.
 The bug lies in the urlmon.dll file and causes the browser to crash when it encounters a URL with the "file://" protocol followed by a long string of dashes.

Hum,
i have just kept it on my computer....It seems quite stable and i haven't had any problems with macromedia files since i first installed it.

It works with iespell, and it’s a bit faster than ie6 too.

(i haven`t tried the older M$  build 5296).

A new preview version of Microsoft's Internet Explorer is out, (11Mb)

The Beta 2 preview of version 7 build number of  (7.0.5335.5) sports a much more compact and streamlined interface than that of the current IE, with a strong emphasis on dedicating as much of the window as possible to the displayed Web site.

If you use Windows XP with Service Pack 2, you can download the new beta 2 program.

Weblink:

BTW, Also released today is an alpha version of Firefox 2.0 called "Bon Echo" which is now available on Mozilla's FTP servers.
Link: (Windows, Mac OS X, or Linux versions.)

Hum,
nice tip...

@Vincent, yeah don`t bother, although its fast and stable, the browsers  `back button` has been disabled!
Plus, i have heard reports that the installer is real flaky, it asks you to uninstall your ,Beta1, IE first, and then promptly freezes...
And the `XP restore` function has failed so that some ppl are `forced` to use an alternative browser...LOL...

i`m back to beta 1...(er, not that i use it)
