Any experiences with IE 7 Beta 2
Hi chaps,
I bought the July 2006 Windows XP magazine and on one of the free CD's is IE 7 Beta 2.
It raves on a bit about the new bits, but I was wondering
if anybody here has installed this beast and has it been worth it?
Many thanks

I've not tried it myself (I don't generally touch beta software if I don't have to!), but judging from various forums, the thumbs are up for features, but totally down for uninstalling it!
Especially as Beta 3 is now out - and it requires you to (painfully) uninstall Beta 2 - thus reverting (hopefully) to IE6.

Ecce Homo! Loquitur...
I didn't have any problems uninstalling it at all. Just used the control panel and it came straight out. It was OK, the multiple tabs were useful, but I had an annoying bug where it kept saying about every 30 seconds, on some sites, that the webpage wanted to close the tab and did I want too. Just got too much after a while. Haven't tried the new version yet.

ORAC,
I guess the thing about forming an opinion from support forums is that no-one posts messages saying that they have no problems!
I'm sure that like you many / most Beta 2 users had no problem with the uninstall.
My impression was that a very significant number did, and that it was not at all easy to fix when it did go wrong.
