I Would of download this but the fact that its beta i wont..The reason is What if it messes up your computer or something? Best off to wait tell the Final version is released from microsoft.

Couldn't agree more. Microsoft's BETA releases are quite buggy, and because there is such a wide number of computers with Windows software, working out the bugs can take some time.

I installed IE7 BETA 1, and eventually had to format and re-install everything because it crashed my entire system.

I have been running the Beta 2 version for about 10 days now - and like it a lot. I have had no stability problems whatsoever.

I find the tabbed browsing very useful. At first I missed the little flag of IE6 waving in the top corner to show you it was actively making a connection - until I noticed that there is a little globe in each tab header doing the same thing.

A significant benefit to my tired old eyes is that the text is so much blacker and clearer in the browser window (though still the same font size) - much better than IE6 or Mozilla.

The only bug I have found is when I tried to move the icon for "Fit Width Printing" to sit alongside the normal print icon. Every time I use the customise menu to move it up - the icon changes to the "Home" icon and I lose fit to width printing. I have to reset the icons and reload Explorer to get it back. Strangely I can move the other icons like tools, home, IEspell, Research etc without problems.
