In case anyone has not heard about the public beta of IE7, I first heard
of it on the CSS-Discuss list last night, where has already been some
interesting discussion of CSS bugs as yet unfixed, and sites that are
breaking (to no-one's surprise, one assumes).
This is a summary of what others have contributed:
1. If you are running Windows XP SP2, you can install IE7 Beta 2
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/default.mspx
2. This replaces IE6, but you can apparently run an IE6 standalone in
the same fashion as earlier versions.
http://browsers.evolt.org/?ie/32bit/standalone
3. For those like me with only one XP machine who don't want to replace
IE6 yet, there is an IE7 standalone from
http://downloads.skyzyx.com/index.php?fpp=20&did=8&fid=11
Trouble is, this is Beta 1 and I am unsure how much stock to put in what
it shows. This is true to a slightly lesser extent of B2, but either has
still got to be interesting.
Haven't tried these myself, YMMV, etc.
4. Eric Meyer has proposed maintaining a central repository of IE7
information at
http://css-discuss.incutio.com/?page=IE7
though there is not much there yet.
HTH
