Please have in mind this is a BETA, I personally would avoid installing
a beta of IE on any machine accept if it was a test machine or a
virtual machine. The reason for this is that too many programs need IE to
work,
and might create havoc on a system.

Having said that, here is the info:

News:

The software maker released the third and last beta version of IE 7 on
Thursday, getting closer to final delivery by the end of 2006. That will be
the first major update to the popular Web browser in five years, and much of
the focus for the new version is on security........

Download Links:
XPSP2

Server 2003 SP1
http://download.microsoft.com/downlo...03-x86-enu.exe

x64
http://download.microsoft.com/downlo...03-x64-enu.exe

ia64
http://download.microsoft.com/downlo...3-ia64-enu.exe

Something more I must mention, but I am *sure* no one here will need it
right? :-)

if you indeed take the chance to install this, make sure its on a legally
purchased
copy of XP because if you don't it will torment you with WGA nag screens
forever...
