Who's using IE7 Beta 3?

Downloaded this today and it look great! Although there is definitely essence of FireFox

I noticed one thing though, when you try to use the spellchecker (provided by the Google search bar) it doesn't actually work. You click the "Check" button and your misspelt words come up and then you go to click on the word to correct it and nothing happens!

Anybody else giving IE7 Beta 3 a try? What do you think of it? Anybody else having the same problem as me??

Unlike Google's beta, I try to stay away from things that have "Microsoft" and "Beta" in the same sentence

.

However, I hope that IE is turning out for the best, it did loose quite a bit of people to Opera or Firefox...

I agree with Slashmire, although I do have the BETA, I think its BETA 1, not BETA 3. The sucky part, this stupid FireFox 1.5 keeps wanting to constantly freeze up and its been almost 2-4 months with no update to fix the problem. I want to switch to Opera but its hard to adapt to a new web browser for me, should've seen me adapting from IE6 to FireFox... but I guess you have to do what you have to do as some would say.

I've removed the beta now as it just wasn't good enough. Its now buggered up my whole IE so I'll have to try and re-install IE6.

My opinion - wait until it comes out of the "beta" stage. By the way I found you comment (slashmire) very amusing!

I'm on Beta 2, I guess I need to upgrade. I like it a lot though.

Somehow I completely destroyed IE on my computer a few months ago and cant be bothered to fix it, so no update for me.

I haven't tried the new version of Internet Explorer 7. I'm just worried that being that it's a Microsoft product and that it's Beta... it could potentially break my computer.

I love beta 1 but I had to uninstall to test for IE 6. I'm just waiting on the official release before I bother getting IE6 and IE7 to play together.

Wow, same here. I can't run IE at all. I can't install it because it detects a newer version installed and I can't unistall it considering it doesn't exist.
