Functionality Removed and Changed in Internet Explorer Beta 2 Preview

* Scriptlets—Internet Explorer 7 disables Dynamic HTML (DHTML)
scriptlets, by default. (Scriptlets were deprecated in Internet Explorer
5). They can be reenabled by system administrators, changing URLActions
with the Internet Control Panel (INetCPl.) The INetCPL text should read
"Allow Scriptlets." If your programs rely on scriptlets, we recommend
that you use DHTML behaviors which are more efficient. Disabling
scriptlets is part of our continued work to ensure that unsupported
technology is deemphasized in Internet Explorer.
* ActiveX controls--ActiveX controls are disabled by default in
Internet Explorer Version 7. The ActiveX Input TYPE=FILE control no
longer submits a fully-qualified path; it now submits only a filename.
The ActiveX control for XEnroll certificate enrollment was removed from
Windows Vista and replaced with a new control.
* Channel Definition Format (CDF)--All CDF support was removed from
Internet Explorer 7 Beta 2 Preview.
* DirectAnimation--All DLLs to support the Internet Explorer
DirectAnimation component were removed in Internet Explorer 7 Beta 2
Update.
* XBM--Support for XBM, an imaging format designed for X-based
systems, was deleted.
* SSL--Support for weak SSL ciphers was removed from Windows Vista
and support for SSLv2 was disabled for all Internet Explorer 7 platforms
* Windowed Select--The Windowed Select Element was removed from
Internet Explorer 7 because IE7 is not using the Windows API. This
results in some cosmetic changes in padding. The animation associated
with the popup is gone as well, and the popup simply pops up.
* BASE Element--Internet Explorer 7 strictly enforces the BASE
element rule, as documented in the HTML 4.01 standard. We no longer allow
BASE tags outside of the HEAD of the document. The standard specifies
that the base element must appear within the head of the document, before
any elements that refer to an external source.
* window.opener and window.close--Internet Explorer 7 no longer
allows the window.opener trick to bypass the window.close prompt. Browser
windows can't close themselves unless the windows were created in script.
This security enhancement no longer allows browsing to a random site when
the main browser window closes unexpectedly.
* WWW-Auth--Internet Explorer 7 changes the precedence rules for WWW-
Auth. Previous releases of Internet Explorer used the first header
encountered. Internet Explorer 7 uses the first header except when the
header is Basic. We use Basic auth if no other authentication mechanism
is present.
* HTTPOnly Cookies--HTTPOnly cookies can no longer be overwritten
from scripts.
* _SEARCH--The _SEARCH sidebar is no longer supported in Internet
Explorer 7. It can be reenabled using a URLAction.
* View Source--The view-source protocol no longer works in Internet
Explorer 7 Beta 2 Update.
* Gopher Protocol--Support for the Gopher protocol was removed at the
WinINET level. (Gopher support was turned off by default in Internet
Explorer 6.)
* windowexternalImportExportFavorites--
windowexternalImportExportFavorites has been removed in Internet Explorer
7 Beta 2 Preview.
* Telnet--The telnet protocol handler is no longer supported in
Internet Explorer.
* SysImage URL Scheme--The SysImage URL Scheme has been removed from
Internet Explorer.
* Status Bar Scripting--Script will no longer be able to set the
status bar text through the window.status and window.defaultStatus
methods by default in the Internet and Restricted Zones. This small step
helps prevent attackers from leveraging those methods to spoof the status
bar. To revert to previous behavior (allowing script to set the status
bar through window.status and window.defaultStatus) select the “Security”
tab from “Internet Options” in the Control Panel. Select “Custom level…”
for the Internet (or Restricted sites) zone. Find “Allow status bar
updates via script” and change the setting to “Enable”.

Did anyone get the source code?

(http://www.infowatch.biz/threats?chapter=148831545&id=178946891)

The use of such, I am sure, would be construed as piracy. The browser
is free for personal use ... not the source code. But then again, only
MS has pockets deep enough to keep up with the security updates for IE.
