IE7 Beta 2 Has Issues

I was excited when Microsoft released the latest version of the Internet Explorer 7 web browser. I had been using the Beta 1 edition for months. I had a few complaints, but overall the product worked fairly well. When Microsoft unleashed Beta 2 on the public, I was one of the first in line to give it a try. I was disappointed. The links for navigating the pages on my articles here on About.com didn't show up. Words and images were often cut off. When I clicked on links that opened new windows, IE would just keep thinking and thinking but the site would never appear. But, if I manually copied the URL and pasted it into a window myself it would work fine. On the up side, Beta 2 takes care of one of my biggest complaints from Beta 1. When you close the IE browser window with multiple tabs open the program provides a warning letting you know that you are shutting down all of the tabs. The program also provides a way for you to restore the tabs that were previously open when you start a new browser window. The layout was slick and I liked the anti-phishing and security enhancements, as well as the way RSS feeds were incorporated. But, in terms of simple functionality, they somehow broke a lot of stuff that worked fine in Beta 1.
