Internet Explorer Release Candidate 1

The good news is that once they release the final version, any updates will be via the normal Windows updates. Why is this good? Installing these Beta's and RC's is like pulling teeth and feeling like Microsoft is checking you twice.

Whats new with IE7 RC1 ?

The Internet Explorer 7 RC1 build includes improvements in performance, stability, security, and application compatibility. With this build, Microsoft has also made enhancements to the fit and finish of the user interface, completed CSS platform changes, added language support, and included an auto-uninstall feature in Setup, which automatically uninstalls prior betas of Internet Explorer 7, making installing the new build even easier.

You can contribute to the final spit and polish by downloading Internet Explorer 7 Readiness Toolkit

The Internet Explorer 7 Readiness Toolkit provides an easy way for any audience that is involved in the development, test, deployment or support of web sites, extensions, and/or applications to prepare for Internet Explorer 7

If you do contribute could you please tell the developers that 1px dotted doesn't mean 1px dashed and also congratulate them on bringing Internet Explorer as far as they have.
