IE7 Download Tested

by John on August 26th, 2005

Download Squad’s Victor Agreda, Jr puts up a rather hair-raising review of soft32’s offering of IE7 Beta 1. The download is featured here in the post below, but read Agreda’s piece before trying it. Here’s a sample :

“At first I was a little worried. After a simple install my machine rebooted and the C drive ran chkdsk. Ulp. After a successful boot and some ominous settings and registry changes though ~ it ran pretty well. Upon first launching there’s a new warning to make sure you want IE checking all the sites you travel to, attempting to limit phishing scams. All the stuff you’ve heard about is there: tabbed browsing, the little search (MSN default, you can choose others) window, etc. The URL bar is now above the textual menus, which I thought was kind of odd. Google Toolbar, which had been on my IE 6 install seemed to work fine. The logo (under the Help menu) still didn’t look right, as it was sans yellow swoosh.”
