Tonight I installed Internet Explorer 7 Beta 3 (the latest IE7 version) from the Microsoft website for testing. I was dissapointed with the experience.
I uninstalled it, and have IE6 again.
IE7 is supposed to be able to support the content type application/xhtml+xml (a feature Microsoft lacked in IE7), but as I found out in my test, it doesn't. IE7 reacted the same way IE6 does to a web document sending that content type.
Another little annoyance is since IE is integrated into the Windows Operating System, IE effects the whole computer. I have a multi-card reader built into my computer that allows me to read various cards such as Secure Digital (SD) Cards and Sony Memorystick. Having IE7 on my computer "broke" the multi-card reader. When I unstalled it, going back to IE6 the multi-card reader worked again.
This is just another thing that Microsoft needs to work on fixing. In the meantime my browser of choice is Firefox, it has yet to let me down.
