Almost all news sites are reporting it Internet Explorer 7 Beta 2 is now available for download. I just had quick look at it. The first thing I check with a new web browser is its zooming function. There are so many web sites out there that use tiny fonts. It is the best way to ruin one’s eyes. You won’t believe it, but the zooming function of IE6 was the major reason why I changed first to Opera and then to Firefox. Now, it seems, IE finally got a good zooming function too. One can now enlarge the fonts of a page by pressing CTRL plus turning the mouse wheel. That also worked before with IE6, but not with all web pages. Well, I know, IE7 has some more new features. The most comprehensive reviews I saw, so far, are the ones from Paul Thurrott: [1] [2].
