So M$ has released internet explorer 7 in beta… Since it requires validation, I installed it on my work computer.
I took some screenshots… check them out.
Basically, it adds tabbed browsing and a new look/feel. However, they did try to outdo firefox’s tabbed browsing with a thumbnail view of all open tabs… Overall, I kind of like it 🙁
you can get a extension in firefox to do thumbnail view…..opera and a few others will do it as well.
it looks better the only thing i give a crap about is if they clean up .png support and at least try to adhere to any form of css standard.
looks like at the LEAST a step in the right direction but firefox and safari are for me…..other at work where i’m stuck using IE and windows 🙁
sell-out
I am not looking forward to having to fix things that I have IE workarounds for now
gee… let’s examine this ‘historically’…
2004… push out IE 6…
2004 + 2 days… push out security patches for IE 6..
every other day after that… patch the patches…
2005… put half the development team re-patching, the other half coding a ‘new’ and ‘improved’ version of IE..
2006… push IE 7 out as beta, hope foolish people will try it, so that the new code that auto-integrates it permanently in system will be insipidly embedded forever…
Hence, why i did it on my work computer. 😛

You have learned well, Grass-Hoppah….!!!
