Copyright © 2006, John Obeto II for SmallBizVista.com®Internet Explorer 7 Beta 2 has now been released for download and evaluation by all Technology Enthusiasts. This is the 'full' Beta 2, not just a download.
For the IE7 Beta 2, Microsoft is providing consumer customers with unlimited phone support at no charge! They are doing this to encourage adoption because we feel that IE7 – even in the beta stage - will help keep customers safer online and provide them with an improved browsing experience.
Also, IE7 Beta 2 is available in English and will now run on Windows XP 64-bit Edition and Windows Server 2003 SP1 in addition to Windows XP SP2.
