IE7 final available
Microsoft released its final version of Internet Explorer 7 last night. I haven’t had the chance to check it out yet. I don’t expect a lot of changes from the RC1 release that I installed on my test box at work since release candidates are most done with bug fixes needed. I had been testing my sites and web applications with the betas and as far as I could tell they didn’t break. The CSS support was better although not perfectly supported like in other browsers. I’ll see how the release version goes and find a link to have both IE7 & IE6 installed at the same time. Also seems it’s only available for Windows XP and Server 2003 – no Windows 2000 support. Geesh. I may have to actually put XP on my home Windows partition… or get IE7 working in Ubuntu…

IE7 may be better than 6 but it’s not likely to become my default browser, especially if I need XP or better to run it. I expect 2000 to be the last Microsoft OS to run on my network.
