Internet Explorer 7 Beta 3

Released June 29, 2006 to the general public, Microsoft is finally modernizing its browser to compete with the infamous Mozilla Firefox that has taken a huge 5% of IE's share. I occasionally peruse the techy websites to keep up with the latest releases and happened to stumble upon this. I quickly downloaded and installed it on my laptop. Seems quite user friendly, but remember that if your going to give it a try, it is still a Beta so if you run into problems.... not my fault! I listed some of the new nifty features below. Skim through it if your bored. =P

P.S. You can only install it if you have an authentic version of Windows XP w/ Sp2

New Interface
Say goodbye to bulky toolbars. Internet Explorer 7 has a new interface that shows more of each webpage you visit. The streamlined toolbar makes it easier to add websites to your Favorites, search the web, clear your history, and access the other tasks and tools you use most.

Tabbed Browsing
Whether you're searching the web, comparing prices, or just staying on top of your favorite topic, Internet Explorer 7 lets you view many different websites at one time — all within one organized window.

Search
Internet Explorer 7 brings your favorite web search providers to you. With the built-in search box, you can search the web at any time without having to open a search provider page. You can display search results in a separate tab, and then open the results in other tabs to quickly compare sites and find the information you want

Security Internet
Explorer 7 helps keep your information safe by alerting you to potential phishing sites — sites that look legitimate but actually are designed to capture your personal information. It's also easier to see which sites provide secure data exchange, so you can shop and bank online with confidence.

RSS Feeds
Don't waste time checking many different sites and blogs for updates. Just select the sites or topics you care about and Internet Explorer 7 delivers all the new headlines and updates to your Favorites Center.
