The new IE
Well, I downloaded the newest version of IE. It has tabs etc., but it is
different. Unusual even. Only complaint is that the mouse freezes sometimes, and the screen flashes black occasionally. I think I'll stick with Opera until an update comes along. -Pete

You cannot uninstall IE6. You have to install IE7 over it.

I installed it on all three machines here yesterday (I hadn't run any of the betas) and it seems fine. I run it with the Maxthon shell here, which runs over it without a problem, and my wife is running it natively. -- Ken Blake - Microsoft MVP Windows: Shell/User Please reply to the newsgroup

No need to worry about a Beta release now!

Hi P,
If you read the Microsoft response to the security flaw you will find out it is related to Outlook Express and not IE7. I have installed IE7 on three machines and they all work absolutley fine, two of them were upgraded from Beta 3, the installer simply removed beta 3 and installed the final release without any flaws.
