It may have been pushed back, but you can give the Beta 2 Preview a try though if you would like:

if they force out ie 7 to replace ie 5 chances are that the old machines running it won’t be able to handle the app and that will only work if microsoft decides to release it for older OS

It would be nice to see more cross browser similarities between the FF and IE.

The only similarities that i like between FF nd IE7 is the tabbed browsing, It should end there.

I think Microsoft are right to hold back Beta 2 until they’ve got something they want to show. There was a huge kerfuffle when B1 didn’t deliver on bug fixes from IE6, and MS have said they’re going to get something done about this. Let’s let them get on with it and judge it when they’re ready for developer input.

There are still too mahy user using ie6 or below, for us css developers ie7 should have been out ages ago. The sooner they release this as a mandatory update the better.

I will stay carry on with firefox.

I wonder if the release of Firefox 1.5 had anything to do with the date change? It would be nice to see more cross browser similarities between the FF and IE.

Microsoft has a long history of hitting the date, regardless if the code is right.

I’m happy to let them delay as long as needed, just so long as it’s bug free when it’s released.

AND, I want it a mandatory download on windows update. The sooner we get rid of IE 5 and IE 6, the better.

I’m happy to say that I haven’t noticed any bugs so far in th Beta 1 version. It does render CSS a lot nicer though which is a bonus. The fact of the matter is that if you dont use hacks to render your pages, then you probably wont notice the difference at all except now you have some new toys to play with.
