IE 7 newsgroups

[History Fan]

Once Microsoft releases a public IE 7 beta later this year, will they
also create public newsgroups about this new browser?

If it becames a public beta, similar to SP2 and MSAS(Windows Defender).
They will have a seperate newsgroup.

Most likely, yes. (Look for IE7 to be released late /next/ year.)

According to this URL, the final release for IE 7 SP2 is March 2006.
That could change, of course:

Ah, yes, Paul Thurrott, /the/ always-reliable source for MS information.

A Beta 2 Preview release will ship internally on October 12 and then
publicly soon thereafter, but only to the same groups that got Beta 1. IE 7
Beta 2 will ship on December 7, 2005, the same day as Windows Vista Beta 2.
When that happens, the XP version will be made publicly available. And IE 7
for Windows XP will be finalized in March 2006.

Believe it when you see it. IE7 Beta 2 Preview hasn't shipped yet.
