Internet Explorer 7 Beta 3 is released!!


Microsoft just released IE7 Beta 3 for Windows XP SP2, Windows Server 2003, Windows XP x64 and Windows Server 2003 Itanium today silently.
Please see IE’s homepage at: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/default.mspx
Download links:
Internet Explorer 7 Beta 3 for Windows XP Service Pack 2 (SP2)
Internet Explorer 7 Beta 3 for Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 1 (SP1)
I do not expect much changes between Beta 2 and Beta 3, but I’m sure the well known bugs will be resolved in this Beta 3.
In the meantime, do keep checking out the release notes at http://msdn.microsoft.com/ie/releasenotes/default.aspx (haven’t updated to Beta 2 at news writing time).

I’ve installed IE7b3 on another computer, and it’s a lot smoother-running than the previous beta; I also like the improvements made. As long as Firefox has the extensibility factor in its favor, I won’t even think about switching to other browsers. I like all the extensions available that add functionality no other browser can offer.
Until Microsoft can figure out all the major bugs in IE7 (which might not be until its final release), I never recommend installing it as a main browser. I’ve had a lot of people complain to me how it destroyed the computer’s dll library during uninstallation.
