Paul Thurrott has written an indepth review of Internet Explorer 7 Beta 2 Preview Public Edition:
“The Internet Explorer (IE) team at Microsoft has been eager to get me to switch back to IE ever since I began writing about my use and advocacy of Mozilla Firefox, a Web browser that is much safer and feature-packed than Microsoft’s current offering, IE 6.0. I haven’t been particularly keen on doing so. Firefox works so well, and is so safe, that I’ve seen no good reason to switch. But with the upcoming release of Internet Explorer 7.0, the software giant finally makes a compelling argument. In this review, I’ll examine the history of this new browser release, and discuss the features Microsoft has added in time for the Beta 2 Preview release, which is aimed at developers, tech enthusiasts, and early adopters. If you’ve been down on IE, as I have, you might be surprised to discover that IE 7 is a credible challenger to Firefox. Who saw that coming?”
