Well, I can't say I'm entirely happy about this. After all, I have enjoyed vilifying Internet Explorer's ineptitude as expressed in all versions from 7.0 backward. However, IE has recently released a new beta version of IE 7 (Beta 2). I downloaded it last night. Compared to Firefox, it is quite good (and, in the words of Albus Dumbledore, "that is saying something"). It has tabbed browsing (finally!), an automatic screen adjust on printing text, and it is super-fast. Faster, in fact, than Firefox's most recent update :(.
I am still not entirely happy with the way it handles a lot of the web language. Perhaps I am just an inept programmer (which is the most likely explanation), but IE 7 Beta 2 still won't properly interpret some of the commands that work flawlessly in Firefox, Safari and Opera.
Nonetheless, IE 7 Beta 2 is certainly worth checking out. While it will not handle all of the features of this website, it is at least able to quasi-properly display all of the design elements (such as transparency), so I can't continue on my quest to destroy all things IE--at least not yet. Perhaps the full release will suck.
Get IE 7 Beta 2 here.
