Internet Explorer 7 beta out

Wednesday, February 1st, 2006 at 11:29 am

Microsoft (no, I will not link this one) have shipped a beta of Internet Explorer 7 . It looks quite funky and requires XP SP2 to run. The catch is that it actually replaces your old MSIE6 (hey we all want that), which can be a real issue for testing. You can install the MSIE6 standalone alongside, but allegedly this might cause problems.

Therefore it might be best to install the MSIE 7 standalone version instead.

As for taking the new shiny MSIE for a ride, there is a test case collection going on at the CSS discuss wiki.
