Internet Explorer 7 Microsoft : TEST
I am currently testing the beta 2, first step install after downloading it here : http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/ie7/ie7betaredirect.mspx
I dont want to use it (I need Firefox), but I want to see what it looks like.
License is in french and english (for Quebec) : 5 dollars im dommages are caused and if you speak french (didnt find it in the other part). ok, i click on accept, even if i do not really do. Argh, the software check if my windows is legal (and it is actually). That was fast for me.
but the software should not be used on production systems in mission-critical environments.
Huh…. should I stop everything, sounds like turning off Anti-Virus
OK, now, I have to restart my computer, hope it is not just to see if 10 sub programs now will start automatically
wow, one tab open, and 50 Meg RAM in use, like in old times (my firefox uses 40 Megs)
to open a link in a a new tab, not too easy, ctrl+click do not work, right click on the link do not help. Bad Point.
The default menu at the top, do not use too much space, bad point.
Add-on manager, looks promising
Feed manager, that is not very special
Clsoing IE was fast, that is as well a good point.
It looks like a browser under development.
