Microsoft has just released the Beta 2 of IE7.
It can be downloaded from the Microsoft site.
The new UI is simply great and simpler with the useful tab browsing, ripping off all the unuseful menus and toolbars to widen the screen space. A must with the endless growing content of websites. Another great feature to ease content reading is printing improvement, which is supposed to allow you to print pages without them being cut.
I have not tested the supposed now-supported CSS2 standards, but the rendering is good.
The font are rendered slightly differently than with the current browsers. While it is pleasant to read text the font looks like "bolder" (I hope that we won't have all to adjut our style sheets when it is released...)

Well I think that ClearType was not working properly yet when Beta 2 went out.
Check out Beta 3 and you will notice that the rendering is different even if ClearType is enabled.
Good news is that we won't have to adjust our style sheets :-)
