Internet Explorer 7 Beta 3

Today saw the release of Internet Explorer 7 Beta 3. This is mostly a security and (one hopes) bug fix release, but the new beta does contain a few new features, including drag-and-drop tab reordering, interface improvements, and some feed-reading improvements. You can download the new beta for XP at Microsoft's IE site. According to IEBlog, this is the last beta release for IE7 and the next version will be Release Candidate.
With Halloween fast approaching, it's a great time to get in some practice defending your territory against zombies. In Graveyard Shift, you take aim at zombies and other creepy-crawlies, blasting them into splatters of cartoony green guts. It's a casual first-person shooter, and it's very easy to get the hang of - use the mouse to aim, click to fire. Graveyard Shift has at least 15 levels, and it might even have some secret stages I haven't unlocked yet.
They key to getting good at Graveyard Shift is learning to use ...

I like it!
IE 7 Beta 3 is faster than beta 2 in overall performance.
The Interface is a little bit nicer, too.
It has a more solid feeling.
It is good to see this considering IE7 is still in beta.

I wonder if this version won't get infected by things like Spysheriff and other things like that?

toolbars are too rigid
"standard button" is no longer a toolbar
and is tied to right of tabs
very awkward - it can not be moved to the "classic location"
concept of homepage needs to be re-invented...
now that you can have many ...there is a big set of implications....
the combination of setting for tabs is going to confuse non technical people to no end. there should be a wizard.
popups open in new window , links open in new tabs.
problem is for common user the resulting page will often seem the same except for content (except for junk adds)
there should be a way for people to test drive features (feature enable until logout and then
user prompted next time if they want to continue with feature)
