An anonymous reader wrote to mention a Register article in which the possibility is raised of
the current build dumping Yahoo and Google toolbars. At the same time,
GWBasic writes "I've posted
a review on IE 7 Beta 1. It is very clear that, unlike when Microsoft targeted Netscape, they are using their classic method of producing superior software by catering to the needs of the user. This is not IE 6 with a few features borrowed from the competition, but rather a clear step in the evolution of user-centric design."
Flexbeta and
ZDNet have looks at the new browser as well.
