Microsoft IE7

Microsoft recently released a beta version for IE7 (Internet Explorer 7). I have been using this beta version for a couple of weeks, for me it seems very cool and neat. The major feature upgrade from IE 6 is that IE 7 has tabbed windows, like Firefox browser you can have tabbed windows.

The other noticable improvement is in the tool bars, the icons in the tool bars are sleek, you can very easily hide and unhide the tool bars. As the toolbars are sleek we have more space to display a webpage.

IE7 comes with a feature where you can search the web with your favorite search engine from the browser iteself. You need not open the search engines home page. A small search box is provided on the top right hand corner next to the address bar you can set your default search and can start searching the web.

You can zoom/un zoom a web page with the control provided on the bottem right hand corner. Another improvement is security settings, with IE7 it very easy to maintain your cookies and other settings.

Over all IE7 looks very neat and so far I did not encounter any error. You too can try out IE7 beta, you can download it at free of cost, to download go to the link below. I heard that Microsoft is planning to charge $1.5 for a download to compensate their bandwidth charge. But I believe that it is not going to meterialize.
