Many sites are reporting this as IE7 Beta3 (which might make tracking it easier)
You won't see any big differences in the GUI, this build is just to fix (they hope) the things that were broken in preview R2, which cause some sites not to work and in some cases all of IE7 not to work at all.
the security changes are a good thing but some sites will still have to make changes to work well now that there are more restrictions on ActiveX and script execution.

I refuse to try any new Internet Explorer product, especially a beta...lol...in time i'll decide whether it has been good or not.

Meh Firefox does everything I need it to do and more. Yes, adblock and other extensions are almost needed for me to browse now.

I use Maxthon, which is based on IE technology...has some nice features like the tabs and web ads blocking...pretty useful imho, I won't switch until necessary or I find something better.

I used the beta 1 for awhile just to check it out. I kept getting script errors and certain things could not be rendered.
I did like the tabs but Opra had that before and it seemed to work a bit smoother.
I'll stick with FF for now.
