New IE7 Build Available from MIX06
Today is the first day of the MIX06 conference. Internet Explorer team members are presenting this week on much of the work we've done for IE7. As part of the conference, we're handing out the "Internet Explorer 7 Readiness Toolkit" on CD. This toolkit has a roll up of the IE7 information we've published previously and some new features for those attending MIX06.

One of the other items on the CD is an updated build of IE7 for MIX06. This is build 5335 of IE7. In order to give something to those of you who didn't attend the conference and to address concerns or bugs that have been reported, we've made an updated IE7 build available to the public. This is actually an update from the build we put on the CD for the conference so it is the most up to date build available anywhere. It is build 5335.5 and it is now available for download at http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/ie7/. This build is for Windows XP Service Pack 2 and shows the current state of IE7.

What's the browser signature? "MSIE 7.0" ?

Anyone seen a hit from one in their logs yet?

Just checked - I'm getting some, but not for IDN names.

I'm seeing 3% visits to a non-IDN tech-related site using "MSIE 7.0" browser.

Unfortunately, I don't host any IDN :-(

Do any PPC providers show browser stats?

On one of my (English language) sites, I can see 1,504 visits (0.38%) from IE7.x users. Interesting...
