    Thanks for the trackback. You have some interesting posts here on actually installing and trying out the beta. I’m very sad since I don’t have an install of Windows that I’m willing to IE7Betatize. I’m looking forward to a beta that can run alongside my IE6 (although I doubt it will happen) and can at least uninstall. (I hear that you can’t uninstall this version? That doesn’t really sound very likely but… that’s what I hear. Have you tried uninstalling yet?)

    I saw something in the release notes about an uninstall. They say this:

    Uninstalling Internet Explorer 7 Beta 2 Preview

    To uninstall Internet Explorer 7 Beta 2 Preview and return to Internet Explorer 6 on Windows XP
    # Click “Start,” and then click “Control Panel.”
    # Click “Add or Remove Programs.”
    # Check “Show Updates” at the top of the dialog box.
    # Scroll down the list to “Windows XP - Software Updates,” select “Internet Explorer 7 Beta 2Preview,” and then click “Change/Remove.”

    If “Internet Explorer 7 Beta 2 Preview” does not exist, run %windir%\$NtUninstallie7bet2p$\spuninst\spuninst.exe. You need to have “view hidden folders” enabled.

    Looks nice. But I am still sticking to W2K - so no IE7 for me. ;-)
