Inside edge
I’ve just spent the entire morning wearing my supposedly fashionable t-shirt inside out.
The trouble is with poncey expensive tops is that they often then don’t have an obvious sticky-out sort of label to help you out with which way round you should be wearing it, and so I went the entire morning wearing it wrongly before I noticed at lunchtime when walking back to work with someone, and even though they hadn’t spotted it, I found it completely embarrassing.
Stupid really, because it’s quite funny but then you think that everyone has been sniggering about it behind your back and laughing at you without saying anything .. amazing how something so simple can send you crazy. So go check your labels people. Or at least make sure that you’re wearing matching socks.
Cutting edge technology time for me today .. this blog entry is being written in a window instance of the all new Internet Explorer 7, of which I finally managed to trackdown a beta copy of today.
It’s quite an early incarnation though, and the only excitable noticeable thing so far is that fact that it’s now a ‘tabbed’ browser. Expect all your favourite computer magazines to have copies of it on next months cover disc, or if you want to have a go with the early beta, you can download it here.

First Comment….. woooooo
Ok, something better than that poor effort.
I think that the only reason you got embarrassed by the whole inside-out shirt thing is down to the fact you are indeed quite a vain person. You should be more relaxed about your appearance, just make sure the right bits are covered when you leave your place in the morning and to hell with everyone else.
Ok. So I should do what .. just wear some fig-leaves essentials, and nothing else?
Fig leaves are good but I was thinking more along the lines of a good old fashioned loin cloth.
…and a pair of matching socks as that is so important to you.
Strange. My sources, and they are pretty well placed, say that IE7 will only be available with longhorn/Vista. So what are you running it on
Bah, ignore me. You’re running the cutdown version, aren’t you.
indeed. hence “early incarnation” !
it has got tabbed browsing though, it deals with CSS better, and i suspect that the PNG tranparancy thing is there too, but i haven’t tested it yet.
Yes, PNG transparency appears to have been fixed in the IE7 Beta
This version that’s floating around installs on XP SP2 machines. AFAIK IE7 will be for XP SP2 only, so if you’re using XP SP1 like me or are in a big company using Windows 2000 then I don’t think it’ll be possible to install it on those machines.
It’ll =be included in Vista as well, but knowing when that’ll come out it might be IE 7.5 or IE8. Who knows?
Surely it can’t be included in Vista..
Weren’t Microsoft banned from including Internet Explorer already installed on systems, because it effectively gave them a monopoly?
Here’s the link.

Also

IE 7 will be released with Vista.
As for exclusivity, I think they were banned from requiring it, or excluding alternatives.
Hmmm, link to the beta doesn’t work – it doesn’t appear to be available on the softpedia site any longer
