    Does anyone know where i can download a beta release of the new internet explorer?

    I've seen screen shots of it and i want to find out for myself if its as crap as it looks? :D


    Edit
    for anyone who is interested Microsoft have released a beta version of Acrylic, which is their alternative to Adobe Photoshop, its available as a free download untill the end of this month at which point it will probably become over priced at whatever sum they attach to it!!

    Its only made available by MS to developers who have MSDN logins at present. No direct downloads. Could possibly be obtained elsewhere but I can't and won't discuss that on Boards as it ain't allowed.

    Edit: I mean IE7beta not Acrylic

    Doubt it, MS would probably make a fuss if they did. Anyway no doubt it will be as out of date and non compliant as its predecessor by the time it gets a general release. As usual MS are making a big deal about something invented by someone else but acting like it was their idea. Tabbed browsing!!! woohoo, what a new and innovative idea! Still makes me think of that Windows 95, Apple '89 billboard.

    It does not matter. Microsoft has said that fixing the rendering engine to make it standards complient is not a priority. They are concentrating there efforts on security. I suppose it is a good thing that they are making it more secure, but since I prefer, and advocate the use of, firefox, it does not matter. I only use IE for accessing Windows Update, and other ActiveX sites.
