IE7 is out?

 

[Jis85]

FireFox is the new IE

 

[tennis_dog]

that's just dandy, but when did internet explorer version 7 come out?

 

[Illuminattile]

The (non-public) BETA's been out for months.

Since it's non-public, I won't be posting a link to it in here (and nor can anyone else).

 

[tennis_dog]

ah ok....when does it come out?? the final version i mean

 

[Illuminattile]

ah ok....when does it come out?? the final version i mean

Public BETA - early next year. Full version - I dunno. Vista's supposed to launch July/September '06, IE7 should be out before then.

 

[tennis_dog]

ah ok.... i know someone that has a beta version of vista...well, they said they had it...havent seen it, but i doubt he's lying...

is it worth getting the dl?

 

[Illuminattile]

Dunno. Tried to install it one of my other PCs, but it wanted to validate my copy of Windows, so I stopped...

I'll install it on here.

Vista's available too, also illegally.

This is what IE7 looks like.

At least, the BETA version I have. I'm not feeling it.

 

[tennis_dog]

[tennis_dog]

hmm, this avant thing looks kinda cool...does mozilla block those flash animation ads taht avant claims it does? that does save quit a bit of bandwidth...

when you hit that, you have copied it onto your clipboard. Now go to Paint or some other application and paste the picture.
