Webmonkey has a brief look at the new features in IE7 beta 2. Some good things in there, some bad things in there. But then, MS has a hell of a lot of catching up to do. I personally would prefer them to get CSS rendering correct, while still allowing for the hacks necessary in most stylesheets for IE6 compatibility: the last thing we all need is IE7 sticking to the IE box model while finally getting support for more advanced mark-up like “html > body”.
How many web sites would get mucked up if that happened? Rather a lot, unfortunately.
