Internet Explorer 7 Beta 3 released to public


Microsoft has released IE 7 Beta 3 to the general public. Here is an overview of what IE 7 does:

Internet Explorer 7 (IE7) Beta 3 has been designed to make everyday tasks easier, provide dynamic security protection and improve the development platform and manageability. End user improvements include a streamlined interface, tabbed browsing, printing advances, improved search functionality, instant feeds (RSS), dynamic security protection, and more.

Now that you've got the sales pitch I suggest that you do not download it because Internet Explorer has long been a pain, nusance, and a disaster. Instead I recommend Firefox.

Get Firefox!

System Requirements for IE 7:
Windows XP Service Pack 2 (SP2)
233 Mhz processor or higher
64MB ram

Get it here (download at your own risk).

    I've installed IE7b3 on another computer, and it’s a lot smoother-running than the previous beta; I also like the improvements made. As long as Firefox has the extensibility factor in its favor, I won’t even think about switching to other browsers. I like all the extensions available that add functionality no other browser can offer.

    Until Microsoft can figure out all the major bugs in IE7 (which might not be until its final release), I never recommend installing it as a main browser. I’ve had a lot of people complain to me how it destroyed the computer’s dll library during uninstallation.
