Been running the new beta for a few days and besides the wwg WYSIWYG editor everything works well for me. It's a nice modern browser. ------------- http://baumannphoto.com" rel="nofollow - Blog | http://mpgtracker.com" rel="nofollow - MPG Tracker |

don't have those problems at all. all sites work fine for me. give me an example and I can test. like i said rich text boxes are lagging, basically I type and maybe at some point the text appears. Make sure you did not download the leaked beta as it is supposed to be less stable (well so ms says). ------------- http://baumannphoto.com" rel="nofollow - Blog | http://mpgtracker.com" rel="nofollow - MPG Tracker |

I found a few web sites that don't display well but when I do a validation against them, it's because of invalid code or invalid css, not because of the browser. IE7 is more standards compliant than the previous MS crap browsers. Many people who coded to ie instead of coding to standards will have their sites break in IE7. For the past 5 years, the conventional wisdom has been to code to standards and apply hacks to make it look ok in IE. The idea was that sooner or later IE would fix its broken implementations of CSS and HTML and come up to standards. Just a shame that it took them 5 years to move closer to the standard. -------------

You may remember that IE beta 1 had a problem when considered side by side with IE6. I assumed this would be fixed in IE7 b2. As the public beta does not support XP Pro x64 I installed it standalone. It has now broken my IE6 so I have to use IE7  . I tried removing the registry keys that broke IE6 before but that didn't work.Guess it is my fault for not waiting for a x64 beta |

I can open 20 tabs in IE7 just fine. Try the tabs instead of just opening new windows.

Nice. I was going to overclock my pc but the chipset fan isn't working well as it is so it will have to wait  .Somehow my IE is working again. Don't know how  Microsoft have said they are going to release a IE7 x64 beta soon which is great  |

How's the 64-bit for heat anyway? I 've got an older 2.7 AMD 32-bit but have a sh*tkicker video card and a couple of gigs of ram. Had 2 blower fans and two pushers and still wound up having to take the sides off the case and use an 8 inch house fan to keep things running. Was wondering if I do an upgrade later this year to a 64 if I should be looking at one of the liquid cooling systems. -------------

AMDs older fans where no good. The 64bit fans are gigantic and have given me now problem. My new AMD fan runs at 40c with a hotter processor. My old processor ran at 80
