IE7 Beta 3

[cnorgangrad]

I got an e-mail this morning saying that IE7 Beta 3 was available for
Windows XP and so forth. Does anyone know when it might be available for
Vista??

Does anyone know when it might be available for Vista??

I thought I saw an MVP say that IE7 Beta3 was
basically the same IE version already in Vista.

IE7 is included with Vista and so there will not be a separate download.
Current Vista beta versions include a newer version of IE7 than the recently
released Beta 3. When Vista RC1 is released as part of CPP it will contain
the newer version of IE7.

Actually what my Vista installed version says is:
Internet Explorer 7+
Version 7.0.5384.4
Update Versions Beta 2

not get beta 3? I tried installing and it says my version of windows "vista"
is not supported?.....

The version of IE7+ installed in vista beta 2 is missing many new features
included in IE7 beta 3. Just wait until vista RC1 for a newer IE7. You can't
install beta 3 on vista, thats ok, because it will be included later

That's your version of Vista, but that isn't the latest version of Vista.

I think I'll stick with Beta2 as a previous poster said Beta 3 is aimed at
XP users

Then which one is the latest?
Is there any place where we can check to know the latest build number?
I don't even suggest to download it, but just to compare how old is ours,
and to know how you can be so sure of what you're saying...

It doesn't matter which one is the newest. One is for Vista and one is for
XP. They are parallel versions of IE7, not the same version. They are
functionally the same, but some security features are stronger in Vista.
Not because one is newer than the other, but because the underlying
platforms are different. You couldn't use the XP version on Vista no matter
what.

I have seen it was release a new version on 17 July

Vista Beta 2 Build 5472 was made available to participants in the Windows
Vista Technical Beta program, select Technology Adoption Program customers
and MSDN subscribers, according to Microsoft.

Microsoft said it remains on target to ship the first release candidate of
Windows Vista, RC1, by the end of this quarter.
