RSS Platform Beta 3 Changes
Are you developing on the Windows RSS Platform? If so, you may want to check out the post on some improvements on the RSS team blog. Most notably the RSS Platform is now API complete. This means that, barring any serious bug that we must fix, applications written against the Beta 3 API will run unmodified against the final RTM release of the platform. Check them out.

OT, I downloaded IE7 Beta 3 today for my work computer and now I can't get on the internet at all. I get error message after error message. I tried doing a system restore to before I downloaded it but it could not restore to that point. I can't go back to my old explorer because I downloaded the newest version and the setup won't even start.
At this point there's only two things left for me to try that I can think of... 1. download IE7 B3 to a cd and try re-downloading it onto my system in hopes of somehow fixing whatever went wrong or wiping my hard drive and reinstalling my system... but if you have any other ideas I'm interested in hearing them! As it is, until I find out what went so wonky, I am not downloading IE7 onto my home pc. - Anonymous

Also, I tried the whole, "uninstall" IE7 B3, but everytime I hit the change/remove button, my computer shuts down. - Anonymous

Hey ieblog guys, is Beta 3 the final publice Beta/RC before RTM? It would be nice to get an RC1. Thanks! - Anonymous

@Ethan
No, this is the last beta, but there will be several RC's, since the current bug list is quite large. They won't be adding new features, but they will be making an effort to reduce the memory leaks, the crashes, and the bugs that break all of the old behaviors in IE6.
Latest insider estimates are late, late Q4 or pushing until Q1 2007 to ensure stability before releasing, since it is currently far from ready. - Anonymous

Did you try sstarting IE7 without addon's ?? - Anonymous

Re: hAl
Yes, that's the only way I can open a page (still get an error message)and be able to click on anything. If I don't start IE7 without add-ons I get the error message and I can't click on ANYTHING. - Anonymous

Is IE 7 Beta 3 vulnerable to the RSS risks discussed in http://news.com.com/Blog+feeds+may+carry+security+risk/2100-1002_3-6102171.html?tag=nl? - Anonymous

Rachel, you might be wel advised to at least check your addons in the "Manage Add-ons" options options area and switch them on one by one to find out which add-on's migth be to blame for (a part) of your problems and try to either update them to a newer version or remove them alltogether. - Anonymous

tried to download 3 times unsuccessfully and I'm not willing to try to edit the registry with all the cautions listed and that Microsoft won't help if it doesn't work. Why didn't you lieve us alone with Beta 2 until Beta 3 works? Are you deliberately trying to suggest we go to Apple? - Anonymous

Hi Rachel,
You can try booting into safe mode, opening a command prompt (Start->Run: cmd.exe), and runing this command:
%windir%ie7beta3spuninstspuninst.exe.
That should let you uninstall Beta 3.
Thanks.

@Ethan: I will confirm Todd's assertion that there is a public RC that will be forthcoming. (Everything else in his remarks is speculative.) - Anonymous

Good news. I went into the program John H. suggested and discovered that if I changed one of the settings under the compatibility tab (which strangely enough doesn't pop up on my home computer otherwise I could tell you which setting it was, cause I don't remember now), the uninstall program worked just fine. Now I'm back to good old IE6. Thanks for all the help! :) - Anonymous

If IE7 hungs up, You should go Start > Internet Explorer (internet properties) and then programs > manage add-ons and disable all java plug-in. If it there is not better then go like before except programs, go advanced and reset internet explorer settings. This should work. - Anonymous
