Microsoft to take third shot at IE 7 beta

While there has been no formal announcement, Microsoft has confirmed to internetnews.com that there will be a third beta of Internet Explorer 7.

Planned for August, the third beta will test all of the new technologies and standards being added to IE 7, as well as bug fixes found in the first two betas.

The company released the first beta in January to a lukewarm reception.

While applauded for its new features, both visible and under the covers, there were some peculiar design choices, such as the menu bar being sandwiched between the address bar and the tab bar.
