(like me) See the slashdot story.
Ok, I’ve spent about 30 min driving IE7 beta 1 around. Did the Acid2 test and browsed through a whole lot of Quirksmode stuff. My conclusion?
It has tabs.
Woo hoo. As far as I can tell they haven’t fixed much with regards to standards compliance. It still fails the Complex Spiral demo for example. To be fair, it is fast. It has popup blocking.
But that’s not what I am interested in. I already have all that. I don’t need another browser, I’m happy with Firefox. What I do want is for the other 90% (and falling) of the world to not drive how the 10% of us idealistic designers create standards-based webpages.
On a related note, the Web Standards Project has an interesting article on the front page talking about their meetings with Microsoft.

I agree. As a fan of css, I would like to be able to use the functionality of css2 on my web pages but can’t because so many people use Microsoft’s stupid browser.
Why is the file menu bad below the tabs? I hope that can be changed. It looks eerily similar to the Qute theme for Firefox.
I don’t know how the word ‘bad’ made it into my post, but there it is.
I was surprised at first, but I kinda like it. You are right–looks almost exactly like Qute.
