Microsoft on Monday evening released Beta 2 for Internet Explorer 7 for Windows XP Service Pack 2, an overhaul of the browser featuring enhanced security and a redesigned user interface.
While remaining close-lipped about a U.S. ship date, the company did say in a statement that it expects to ship final code in the second half of 2006.
At this point, company officials are urging more technical users to try the new browser in production environments. ?This build is really solid [and] we think it is ready for technology enthusiasts,? says Margaret Cobb, a product manager for IE 7.
