I found the quick launch buttons on the keyboard dont work, no new drivers available so its back to IE6 till Labtec sort some drivers out. I dont like IE7 not having the mail button. Other than that its a lot like Firefox.

I received a CNet newsletter this morning telling me that once you've installed IE7 you can't get IE6 back
Just in case anyone out there is under this sad misapprehension and wants to remove it, you just go to Start/Control Panel/Add/Remove Programs, ensure that Show Updates is checked, remove IE7 and bingo!
IE6 is back.

Well having run it since beta 1 IE7 is now my browser of choice.  Compared to FF it is faster, as secure, smaller footprint, better tab handling and you can view multiple tabs in 1 go.  No crashes and it makes FF seem like a snail.

Update on IE7 have been using it for sometime now, as essexboy has said very fast also works well with windows live one care and windows defender.

Also works well with windows live messenger .

Also works well with every other program I have installed what you dont get is what some members where getting with IE6 was the warning that sorry this browser has to close, IE7 does not do that also found it more user friendly.

Since using it and finding it works well have uninstalled both firefox and opera.

Anyone having trouble you must remember make sure that it is configured properly.

make sure that it works ok  with all your programs you have installed like Zone alarm, labtec, which it will now as I have 2 keyboards  one is labtec the other is logitech and i just installed it and it found the drivers it wanted to use.

If I found that it did not work ok I would soon uninstall it.

Internet Explorer 7 goes public with Beta 2 11:57AM
 
Microsoft has publicly released the second beta of Internet Explorer 7. Available for download from www.microsoft.com/ie, the latest build is said to be feature complete and includes 'reliability and compatibility enhancements'. Microsoft is looking for feedback.
As well as tabs and 'quick tabs' (a thumbnail view of open windows), there is a built-in search box, 'anti-phishing' filters and RSS support.

The first public 'pre-beta' was released in February, having leaked onto the Net as early as January 2006.

IE7 Beta 2 for Windows XP will now run on Windows XP 64-bit Edition and Windows Server 2003 SP1 as well as Windows XP SP2. The release is intended to help Web developers and designers optimise websites for the new browser, which is scheduled to officially launch in the second half of the year, following a preliminary Vista Beta 2 release for the browser.

Marking the release of the second beta is a new IE7 Add-ons site, consisting of free plugins (such as auto-fill forms and bookmark managers) for the latest version of Microsoft's browser, which can be found at www.ieaddons.com.

More information can be found on the updated Internet Explorer homepage at www.microsoft.com/ie.

Note that Microsoft expects the Arabic, Finnish and German language versions of the beta to be released 3 May, with Japanese language support available 8 May.

Before anyone else rushes to install IE7 Beta, maybe you should read this first:
