In case anyone is wondering you can join MSDN and get a copy here:

I'll maybe give it a testing later
- Let's hope it lives up to the *standards*

Does it fix the xhtml served properly (as xhtml+xml) problem?Pimptastic wrote:Just got the Beta version...looking good so far!!

On IE6, that pops up a prompt asking if you'd like to save it. The proper behavior is to parse it.
I'd love to know if that was fixed.

You summed it up nicely..nielsene wrote:Doesn't seem too surprising.... I'm expecting mainly a chrome overhaul, adding tabs, etc but little progress in the standard compliance/rendering side of things...
I'll be using it when I buy Vista later this year, but Firefox will still be my browser of choice.
I just got IE7 and it works for me. There is an upside (aside from all the downs), in that it handles CSS layouts far better than it used to. The drop-down menu now WORKS without any major overhauls to the CSS and without IE specific classes or any javascript. I have proved this as I just finished up analyzing the menu I just made in Firefox and IE7 and they both look the same 
Hoorah for CSS based drop-down menus!
