Oh, yay.

Another hurry up from MS that will fail to meet expectations - See Visual
Studio 2005.

I read the Release Notes and found this one interesting
a.. View Source--The view-source protocol no longer works in Internet
Explorer 7 Beta 2 Update.

How would one view the source without this?
Does one have to search the cache?

I just tried one (still using IE6)
C:\Documents and Settings\Trevor\Local Settings\Temporary Internet
Files\detail.html
and it opened
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/ie7/tour/interface/detail.html
Open with .. wasn't available in this folder

But I could copy the html file to another folder and open it there with a
text editor

A bit convoluted, but I suppose it it works, then sobeit.

Does anyone else have any warnings on IE7 Beta or can someone recommend an
appropriate newsgroup?

No need for this!

Going off the deep end???

Though IE 7 has a few things wrong (Esp. when in XP works much better in
vista I think)

Like.....

1. Cleartype is enabled in Outlook Express (upon install) and can't be
disabled. The install should either add a checkbox option to disable it
within Outlook Express, or it should just not enable it in the first place.

2. I noticed that I am unable to right click and sort my favorites by name.

3. Some pages are not displayed correctly. Font sizes are sometimes
smaller/bigger.
Some fonts reportedly do not show up at all.

4. Toolbar does not keep set size. I unlocked and resized it to display all
icons, and it gets shorter and a few disappear off the edge on the right.

5. Some of my add-ons installed on IE6 do not display their buttons anymore.

Other than these few things, I think it's coming along well. I'll like it,
once the bugs are worked out.

This is the short list.... Did I mention problems with dial-up
connections????

This is only a beta... trying to find the bugs (the infestation) and stomp
them one at a time till none are left.....Ugh maybe not "all".
