I want to try IE7 for XP already

Every day, I get lots of email asking for a build of IE7 for XP. If you have an account on the internal Microsoft corporate network, I have a link I can send you.  

For everyone else, we need a better answer than “We’re hiring; please come join us.” (That said, we’re hiring; please come join us.)

We’ll post an updated pre-release build of IE7 for Windows XP publicly – no MSDN membership required – during the first calendar quarter of 2006.

We want to make sure that everyone has an opportunity to try a pre-release version of IE7 and tell us how it works with their web sites, their applications, their add-ons, and how they use the web overall.

Looking forward to the feedback,

- Dean
