Just found it from iexbeta. and also found installation instructions on win2003. take a look in the screenshot.

first bug I found is, clicking on a link which opens in new window crashes the browser, and second bug is babylone’s content area is blank. i guess it uses IE activex there.

Microsoft has released first beta of Vista & IE7

Looked at MSDN subscribers download area. Windows Vista is available there, but I was unable to find IE 7 there.

Later, in discussions i found that other users are also complaining for this that MS has announced on their website that Vista and IE7 are available for MSDN subscribers. But IE7 is not available until now.

I’ll post more details about these goodies as i get my hands on them :D

here's the screenshot of the player.

Standalone FlashPlayer 8

Well, as promissed, i have just finished it.

here’s the link:
FlashPlayer8_setup.exe

when you install it, it’ll associate .swf file extension to itself. now when you double-click any swf, it’ll be opened in this standalone flashplayer.

you can also drag’n drop swf files over FlashPlayer8 shortcut on your desktop.

to re-associate swf files with flashplayer 7, just run SAFlashPlayer.exe from Players directory in flash installation folder.

i hope this tool will also help you find out good stuff in flashplayer 8 ;)

Flash Player 8 Public Beta Is Out

Macromedia has just released a beta version of their new Flash player. Without some fancy demos, it's sort of hard to see the difference. Nevertheless, here it is.

There’s a whole slew of improvements/features with this release. Colin Moock has a bunch of links to a movie demo that showcases it’s new capabilities.
