From the IEBlog: IE 7 beta 2 is out as of yesterday. Turns out that the last time I wrote about “beta 2″ it was actually a preview version. Guess I should pay more attention to the subtle naming conventions!
Here’s something truly novel for a MS beta (quote is from the above blog link):
For this Beta 2 release, we’re taking the extra step of offering no-charge phone support to consumers in North America, Germany and Japan. We’re offering phone support to encourage people who usually shy away from beta software to try IE7 Beta 2. We believe that IE7 - even at this beta stage - is a significant improvement and we want as many people as possible to try it and use it. IE7 is feature complete and has been through significant compatibility and reliability testing. People (especially technology enthusiasts) will have a good experience with it.
Phone support for a beta! Wow. I’ve downloaded, but haven’t installed yet so not sure if I’ll need that support line quite yet…
The MS IE page got a facelift too.
Meanwhile, John Dvorak assures us that IE is the Great Microsoft Blunder.
