Beta bytes

Below are some screenshots of the beta versions of upcoming programs...

Internet Explorer 7 Beta 2

New interface. Most notable is the addition the tabbed browsing feature (like Firefox and Netscape). The interface doesn't look too aesthetically pleasing to me. Whether the new security features work will probably only be known when this version is released to the public. (regarding the screenshot, I blurred the product-key...juz in case)

MSN Messenger 8 Beta 3 (aka Windows Live Messenger)


Click to enlarge

Again new interface. MSN 8 looks much sleeker and shinier. It even sounds more elegant. The alert sound when somebody signs in is now a gentle tinkle instead of a obstrusive "deng!". But perhaps the most overdue feature is the ability to talk to ur contacts while appearing offline. Juz in case u are wondering how in the world am I talking to u while appearing offline...
