Attention! After installing Internet Explorer 7 beta 2 you cannot roll
back to the previous version.
As I currently do not have a spare Windows XP SP2 machine: anyone is
aware of what JScript version is used in IE7? Is it still JScript 5.6
or JScript.Net (JScript 7) ?

So the same 5.6 with (probably) some tiny changes. Thanks, I missed it
in that thread.

This maybe a bit exaggerated but I nevertheless kinda agree with you.
They did not fix lots of other bugs too (eg in DOM 2 Core, DOM 2 HTML,
scripting, etc) which had been reported, documented, explained, etc..
Absolutely position bugs and related bugs (eg wrong/incorrect z-index
implementation) have barely been addressed.

Wrong z-index implementation bugs by Aleksandar Vacic'
http://www.aplus.co.yu/css/z-pos/index2.php
What's also disappointing is the absence of large portion of unsupported
CSS2.1 properties. Say, implementing CSS2.1 outline property: since
there never was any support before, then the question of
backward-compatibility (quirks rendering mode) should not have stopped
Microsoft from trying to implement it. If they have not done any of this
by the beta 2 release, there is then huge chances that MSIE 7 final
release will not have more than what we see now in beta 2.
Someone (can't remember who or where) said that Microsoft can not
endlessly work on IE forever because they have limited resources.

That's not true.

To uninstall Internet Explorer 7 Beta 2 Preview and return to Internet
Explorer 6 on Windows XP
1. Click "Start," and then click "Control Panel."
2. Click "Add or Remove Programs."
3. Check "Show Updates" at the top of the dialog box.
4. Scroll down the list to "Windows XP – Software Updates," select
"Internet Explorer 7 Beta 2Preview," and then click "Change/Remove."
If "Internet Explorer 7 Beta 2 Preview" does not exist, run
%windir%\$NtUni nstallie7bet2p$ \spuninst\spuni nst.exe. You need to have
"view hidden folders" enabled. %windir% is your Windows installation
directory, which is normally 'C:\Windows' on most systems.

Hey all!
I was reading over at the IE Blog the other day
http://http://blogs.msdn.com/ie/] and read some interesting, and
encouraging news. According to Sunava Dutta, an IE Program Manager,
starting in IE7 XMLHttpRequest will be a plain JavaScript object. It
will still include the Microsoft.XMLHTTP ActiveX component for
compatibility, but IMHO this is a very good shift for IE.
What do you think?

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
