IE 7 is out as beta (the real Beta) Tabbed browsing - how innovative - doesn’t Firefox already do that?

    Some things just never change:

    An independent researcher needed just 15 minutes to find the first bug in the Beta 2 preview release of Microsoft’s Internet Explorer 7 browser.

    Tom Ferris, of Mission Viejo, California, published his findings just hours after Microsoft released the beta code. His findings are posted online.

    Right now the bug can be exploited only to crash the browser, but Ferris says it’s likely that his attack could eventually be modified to run unauthorized code on a user’s machine.

    The vulnerability appears to be exclusive to Internet Explorer Beta 2 browser, he says. “This is a completely new bug. I’ve never actually seen this in any browser before.”

    The Escape have registered bug 65993 “Elements that are set with position relative don’t zoom properly” with Microsoft’s feedback system.

    It’s been validated and commented on so lets hope it gets fixed…

    I’ll be experimenting with its CSS support soon - hopefully it will cope with what i throw at it.
