I’m sure people will not fail to know about this but as it’s not completely official yet and I think the Mozilla FTP site has melted under the load, you can still get a copy from this mirror. Version 2.0 comes with a bunch of new features: Spell checker, Better Session management etc etc. I’m sure there’s loads more but I haven’t looked through the release notes. I hope they have made an effort to fix the hogging of memory that FF is is infamous for.

This release comes just 2 weeks after the IE7 release, which seems to have done half a job in improving the poor IE6. I can’t believe they’ve found a hole already!! Thank goodness I don’t have to use it (Thanks Steve). I’m sure the dissecting of both browsers will occur over the next few weeks I imagine you’ll find it hard to fine someone backing IE.

I’m sure anyone who would want to know this already does but Microsoft have made IE7 available to the public in beta 2 release form.

I’ve had a play with it briefly on the girlfriends laptop and I have to say, on first glances it seems quite nice. I need to do more thorough testing with complex layouts but on the surface things are looking good, not great, but good. I know they’re working hard to do the best they can with this next release (and boy, they had to work hard) so hopefully they will continue to fix as many problems as they can before the final release.

Please go get IE7 and try it for yourselves and if something doesn’t work, tell them.
