Has anyone else tried out IE 7 Beta 1? I recently installed it, and while I like the advent of tabbed browsing, there are other features that have annoyed me. For example, many sites that use scripting no longer work as a result of the upgrade, and I can no longer enter my time for work or even log into Engy's Experiment! I've looked in the options to see if I have to check/uncheck something, but haven't yet discovered the problem. The interface itself is nothing special, although Microsoft appears to be taking the Google approach of simplicity in their UI. I'm not digging the tiny new back/forward buttons, and can't find a way to increase their visibility. In addition, it is reporting www.jasonengstrom.com as a potential Phishing site!! What?? I'd love to know their criteria for selecting a "potential phisher" and how my site shows up on the list.
Granted, I haven't spent a ton of time evaluating it and haven't even tried out the new Web Feed functionality (thanks to BlogLines), but I'm ready to uninstall. Which, leads me to another point...how the heck DO YOU uninstall it? It doesn't show up as an option in my Add/Remove programs list, and even in the Windows Component section, it shows up as using 0.0 MB and uninstalling it via that method has proved unfruitful.
IE 7 is going to lose my business unless the final product is markedly improved!
[UPDATE:] Just found this post over on the Framework Zone and bingo, IE 7 is history!
