IE 7 Beta 2 ... it's public now

Latest word from InternetNews.com is that IE 7 Beta 2 is going public today.  Tabbed browsing, anti-phishing measures, security improvements ... all on tap for this release.  While Beta 1 was private (I had a CD of Beta 1 and left it behind at the Blog Business Summit, actually), Beta 2 is public.  No word yet on whether is this is for the faint of heart or beta.

For web dev folks like me, MSFT has tried to strike a balance of old and new, so not as too break IE 6 tweaked sites.  I think AJAX is going to make serious headway now that IE 7 is in the fray.  RSS?  Well now that it's public, I will try it for the RSS features are there.

Will this be a Firefox killer? That is the million dollar question.
