[...] The public release of Internet Explorer 7 beta 2, the first release of the new browser to be available to the Web development public, was slated to be tied to Vista beta 2, so this news may well mean that we won’t get a good look at the many CSS rendering fixes in the browser for another few months at least.

What about the xhtml mime type?!?

I agree with Chris. I think that serving up XHTML right is the highest on my list. We’ve learned to live with these bugs, but there still isn’t a way to properly server XHTML in IE.

They do not even support XHTML yet. Please do not make claims about MIME types without knowing the details. Adding proper XHTML support is a huge task and requires a lot more than some MIME type.

XHTML Mime Type?

I don’t quite see the real importance of that, yes to purists it is essential, but correctly formatted XHTML can still be parsed as HTML or XML regardless of the mime type. As a web designer developer with a strong stance of standards I am pleased to see that MS seems to fixing things – I’m a little worried about any further bugs they’ll introduce tho, although with such a huge critical and pedantic audience all waiting to moan how MS has goofed again I’m sure the beta testing phases will be a huge success – I am looking forward to the designer/developer’s dream – an IE that isn’t the weakest link, finally we will see some real CSS progression on mainstream sites. Let’s just hope we can forget Mac IE finally too. I’m hoping that IE7 will be compatible with old OS’ like NT4 [shudder] – there are too many outdated corporate networks, hopefully IE7 with it’s security enhancements will be a must have upgrade for all system admins.

“1 px border style” refers to the fact that IE presently renders 1pixel dotted borders as 1px dashed borders.

glad they have been working on some bug fixes once its part of vista the browser will be upgradable much like safari is in osx which is something that should of been included much earlier but I guess due to all the law suits would of be hard to achieve.

Glad all these fixes are coming its taken a bloody age to happen but at least it is happening.

I think proper XHTML support (with all that entails–MIME type detection, full XML styling support and HTML DOM standard support) would be a nice goal for IE 8, but right now I’d rather Microsoft release IE 7 before the end of the year with all the vital fixes that are keeping us from doing out jobs right. Once that’s done, I’d love Microsoft to follow through with proper XHTML support, say, a year later. I’m not holding my breath, though.

Well, if I had my way, I just wouldn't be bothered with it. Think about it for a moment huh?

Here we have Microsoft, one of the largest, if not thee largest software companies on the planet, and with all their resources they still cannot develop an acceptable browser for todays users and market?

I have to think to myself, why is that... And then I've to ask myself why should I develop for this browser, what motive or incentive have I got to do so?
