IE7 Beta 1 Initial Impressions

Things I've noticed from the IE7 beta (these are all based on 10 minutes with the software, so there may be bugs in my report):

• iRider still works, though with a warning message at startup.
• When in (file) explorer, entering a URL into the address bar now opens the URL in your standard browser (iRider) rather than turning itself into an IE window, super rocking awesome.
• The CSS images issue on sproutliner still seems to exist (it likes to load each tick, cross and dot individually).
• In the classic theme, the IE7 window itself is ugly, and you can't seem to easily hide the tabs. You can't seem to change the location of the toolbars, so rather than having the file/edit/view bar then the URL bar, you have URL bar, tabs, file/edit/view menu, seems a bit daft as you have to move your mouse further to get to the URL bar from the content - the file/edit/view bar should at least be positionable at the top of the window just like every other windows app.
• The 'close tab' button is not attached to the actual tab and is all the way over to the left.

Thanks to things more easily opening in iRider now, this probably won't be all THAT annoying, and hopefully these things are addressed for final.
