Microsoft Internet Explorer 7 Beta 2
It was supposed to be released in summer and the Beta version is out. As the name says 'Beta', this is not the final and it may have bugs in it. It is in the testing stages still and the testing burden has been transferred to the users!
I just thought of doing some work for myself and study things which may matter to me. I am not au fait with the technicalities, I am just concerned with they way its going to effect me.
I am presently using two browsers and I may compare them too. The two are IE 7 and Mozilla Firefox 1.5.0.1.
The look is attractive with aweosme appeals with the 3D buttons and tabs. It seems as though the page has grown a bit bigger with the Classic Menu Bar shrunk and placed along with the tabs. The introduction of tabs is definitely new to IE, it was already in use with other browsers like Mozilla and Opera.
Working with tabs has been really made a cool experience. crt+t launches a new tab in the foreground and the center botton of the mouse when clicked on the tab button closes it. There are several other short cuts available too.
The appearance of the history and favourites part has been made more interesting with feeds also coming into the browser. The icons of the respective websites are being shown in the address bar and everywhere else with the site's address.
Looking further at the tab browsing, a sort cascading of the tab windows was interesting to use. There is a small button on the left side if the tabs that makes all the windows appear into a single one from where any one can be selected.
There is also a search box provided on the address bar which is set to MSN search by default (this can be taken as an attempt by Microsoft to monopolise the search engine market , but it can easily be changed to any other engine like google).
The biggest feature about IE 7 Beta 2 is the security. Apart from a pop-up blocker, it also supplies a tool for checking phishing by any websites. Everytime a site is opened, it is checked for possible breaches of security or attempts by the site to launch anything malicious into the user's computer. This option can be turned off pretty easily if it is found to slow down the loading of any pages.
As for me, there is one disadvantage in using IE 7 Beta 2. When I open Google pages for editing my website, there is no editing bar on the left side of the screen. This was really irritating. I hope they do something about this in the final version.
The addition of any new tool bars is as easy as in the previous version. Any new 3rd party softwares can be integrated into it and of course the MSN messenger is already there connected to the browser.
IE 7 Beta 2 can only be installed on licensed Windows XP with SP 2.
