InternetNews.com is reporting that the long awaited beta for Internet Explorer 7 is due to be released on August 3rd. The beta versions of Windows Vista server and workstation are also due on this date.
Microsoft confirmed to internetnews.com that it will deliver the beta 1 version of Longhorn Server on August 3, along with the beta 1 release Internet Explorer 7. They’ll be available along with the beta 1 version of Windows Vista, the next-generation Windows client formerly known as Longhorn, which Microsoft announced Friday morning.
Microsoft said the release date for IE 7 would be in the summer. August is still Summer and I don’t doubt that will be the release date, but it seems to me that Microsoft wanted to make people feel that IE 7 was comming out sooner than August.
Microsoft also said that they were releasing Longhorn (Vista) in 2006. They are releasing it in 2006, but they are releasing it in December. Once again making people feel that the release date was earlier.
(Not that I really care about Vista or IE 7.)
*sigh* Microsoft better hope that this release is successfull. I’m still awaiting the day that someone releases a virus that uninstalls IE6+ and installs Mozilla Firefox 1.x. I’m also going to laugh when the release of the new version still renders websites wrong like it does now.
Hi! Very Good Site! Keep Doing That!
