Has anyone else messed around with internet explorer 7 beta 2?

It takes a bunch of good features from other browsers. Has the tabbing and you can also zoom (using a quick button selection in the lower right hand corner) in on the whole page (not just make the words bigger but everything). This zooming is nice for me cause my resolution i like to keep tiny but i'm still able to read certain pages that would otherwise strain my eyes.

what do you guys think? I know a bunch of modzilla lunatics will be cursing me for posting such microsoft ludacrist stuff haha. I'm testing ie7 for work.

I'd rather not have spyware and ads all over the place, plus IE makes you use all their functions. Firefox is all bare bones, and you select what you want through extensions.

But I'll give it a try eventually.

I just d'led it. I'm not a big IE user, but this beta seems to be better than previous versions as far as the interface goes. The tabbed browsing implementation is pretty good.

I have noticed that it seems to have some problems rendering some webpages that previous IE versions didn't have issue with. It also is kinda slow at times.

i'm not entirely sure what to think of it yet. I'm having problems with it on my home PC...

Kind of expect problems though being its still beta. Don't have the zoom here like i did at work. Lost my favorites, didn't at work.

oh well i feel it'll be a big improvement from 6 once they iron everything out.

Doesn't take much to improve something that needs improved in nearly every way, now does it? [:D]
