Microsoft rolls new beta of Internet Explorer 7
TechWeb | at | by Mike
Microsoft has released the third beta of its upcoming Internet Explorer 7 for Windows XP, moving a step closer towards an anticipated official release of the revamped browser later this year.
Beta 3 boasts improvements in reliability, compatibility, and the user interface. Only minor changes have been made to IE 7's look and feel, however; users can now add an e-mail button to the customizable toolbar and shuffle tabs by dragging them to the left or right.
Other modifications include enhancements to the Real Simple Syndication support within IE 7, tweaks to improve Web site compatibility, and fixes to several rendering bugs. However, users won't see any performance improvements in Beta 3; speed won't be tuned until the browser reaches Release Candidate stage later this summer or in the fall.
