I recall seeing icons left over from XP in the last IE 7 beta screenshot. yes but that was Beta 1 this is Beta 2 that beta 1 is over almost 6 months old alot has changed since then.

john smith 1924 Veteran Posted January 14, 2006 Veteran Share Posted January 14, 2006 IE 7 users who visit google.com get a little thing saying 'add google to your search bar'. Simiarly, Firefox users who visit yahoo get a little thing saying make us default search...

Denis W. Veteran Posted January 14, 2006 Veteran Share Posted January 14, 2006 yes but that was Beta 1 this is Beta 2 that beta 1 is over almost 6 months old alot has changed since then. Quoi? That screenshot is from build 5270, the December CTP. Notice how the RSS is :x, the home icon is from XP, the Favourites (or the new tab button?) is in the XP style, and so on.

chopyaedoff Posted January 14, 2006 Share Posted January 14, 2006 Vista icons on XP - never before has IE had it's own icons - on W2K IE6 uses the W2K icons not XP one's. IE 7 users who visit google.com get a little thing saying 'add google to your search bar'. Simiarly, Firefox users who visit yahoo get a little thing saying make us default search... And by changing your UA String you can get it to say anything.

andrewhaji Posted January 14, 2006 Share Posted January 14, 2006 The "e" symbol doesn't look quite right. I don't recall Microsoft's design having any green in it whatsoever.

DeadOnArrival Posted January 14, 2006 Share Posted January 14, 2006 well a) it's NOT fake (page 2 theres a link to a microsoft page, that EVEN SAYS 5291 OR HIGHER, its called reading), b) It also gives us the knowledge of what build vista is at currently, im thinking that vista beta 2 will be 5300? eh nvm but looks good!

Just because the existence of build 5291 is confirmed, doesn't mean that the screenshot is real. Photoshop is a very powerful tool. It's child's play to change the numbers in a picture.

TexasFlood Posted January 15, 2006 Share Posted January 15, 2006 I think those icons are horrible. IE7 looks extremely ugly. Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/420759-internet-explorer-7-beta-2-build-5291/page/2/#findComment-587066183 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackice Posted January 15, 2006 Share Posted January 15, 2006 I actually really, like the new look. OK, its not as good as the Vista Beta2 concept picture showed it off as (tabs were flat and small, and a nice blue shade. Looked very professional and gorgeous). I still think its miles better than IE6, though. And the new icons are a welcome addition. IE has looked like it was made for 9X systems for too long.

Sn4k36 Posted January 15, 2006 Share Posted January 15, 2006 I think this is fake.. because it looks ugly as hell.. Just look at the buttons.. They looked so much better then B1. An i don't think MS will come from ok looking icons to crappy ones.

MulletRobZ Posted January 15, 2006 Share Posted January 15, 2006 Don't like the overall layout, but in an effort to be as impartial as possible, I can say that I do like the option of previewing all web pages from the same window (different tabs) from right within Internet Explorer. I hope Mozilla and Apple steal those ideas for the next versions of their browsers, LOL! :D Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/420759-internet-explorer-7-beta-2-build-5291/page/2/#findComment-587066258 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackice Posted January 15, 2006 Share Posted January 15, 2006 (edited) The IE7 UI you see poking through in this concept shot is what would kill Firefox.
