Jul 29th, 2005 Microsoft's Internet Explorer 7 went on a limited beta release today and contains a nasty surprise for some users. Users with search toolbars from Yahoo! and arch-rival Google have discovered that these vanish. Other third-party toolbars designed to block pop-ups or aid with form filling appear to be working normally. The default search engine is MSN Search. There are sound compatibility reasons for Microsoft disabling third-party toolbars in an early cut of the software. The beta is only available to Vista beta testers, and is available either as part of Vista itself or as a download for Windows XP, and affects only a few thousand people. But it does raise ominous echoes of Microsoft's previous tactics of foreclosing competition by hiding the alternatives available to users. For anti-competive reasons, Microsoft is unlikely to risk such a move in the finished product. We'll have to see. Microsoft last updated its web browser in August 2001 Source

did you know that google toolbar only works with IE? for firefox you must use the 3rdparty (unsupported by google) download. and can someone tell me how to do "find whole word" search in firefox? for eg. if I want to find "each" I want to find "each" and not "reach" or "peach". I use firefox everyday, but I hate it when people make it sound like its the end of the world. Its a lot better than the other stuff otu there, but it has loads to improve.
Yeah, if Microsoft is releasing a product after such a long time then it must be good. When IE6 was released other, browser's like Firefox weren't even made! After some years when these browser's were released of course they have to support newer features. So I'll give a try to IE7 and see if its worth it.
Hey, i can't open yahoo mail in IE 7 beta 1..any solutions??..And what are the disadvantages...??..Can ne 1 post few more of the drawbacks...?
