Finally IE7 makes the home page of Microsoft.co.jp (http://microsoft.co.jp). Before this it was a three click process to get to the downloading of IE7 Japan

Where is the Beta?

http://i2.microsoft.com/h/ja-jp/i/ie7.jpgInternet Explorer 7 ベーター 2 ダウンロード開始使いやすさとセキュリティが大幅に改善されています (http://g.msn.com/mh_mshp_ja-JP/98765?B78D49F2&http://www.microsoft.com/japan/windows/ie/default.mspx&&HL=Internet+Explorer+7+%e3%83%99%e3%83%bc%e3%82%bf%e3%83%bc+2+%e3%83%80%e3%82%a6%e3%83%b3%e3%83%ad%e3%83%bc%e3%83%89%e9%96%8b%e5%a7%8b&CM=Tabs&CE=homepage)

Translation:


Internet Explorer 7 beta - 2 download start ease of use and security are improved substantially


Point is there wasn't any sort of link nor notice to the Japanese people on the Microsoft Japan Website before this.

Not front and center, but an encouraging sign.

Good catch Sarcle!

Yes I got there in the End, but it is pretty standard stuff to include the Beta in the Logo. If you click to the next page the Beta has completely disappeared as far as I can tell. It reappears later, but it seems to me they are deliberately playing down the Beta Status.

My question is it a coincidence that they put this on their homepage roughly the same time the JDNA releases this statement? Seems the ball maybe moving faster than we anticipate.

Not at all. Thanks. I just wacked up a translated link for the less initiated before turning in.
