Microsoft IE 7 Beta
Feb 1st, 2006 by Don Ray
One of the big buzzes in technology now is the upcoming Internet Explorer 7 that is currently in Beta. Since Chiriqui Chatter performs so poorly under IE6 I decided to take a look at the current Beta version. The final release is intended to be ready when the next Microsoft OS (Vista) is available later this year.
I downloaded the Beta version and , while I realize that it is a Beta version, it is going to have to improve a lot for me to switch from the Mozilla family of browsers. It is nicer looking than IE6, but it’s handling of scripts, which I think determines, how fast it renders pages is still very slow. I hope performance tuning is still on the schedule. So far, I still give it a thumbs down.
