IE 7 Beta - The details
The IE Blog have posted a Few details on the up coming release
They mention support for alpha channels in PNG along with better support for CSS.
The comments are quite good (until it posted on Slashdot - then the trolls start the anti MS bashing)
One comment which i though good was
"SVG support. Now that Adobe owns Flash, they may not be pushing SVG as its competitior, so MS could fill the void." - I figured if the buyout goes through then maybe Adobe would look at getting SVG into Flash not just do away with it??

Slashdotters. So fast to jump on the first uninformed bandwagon available. Comparing SVG to Flash is like comparing GIF to DIVX, still they don't get tired from it. Pretty funny and sad at the same time.
If I could pass an XML file into Flash and get the precise kind of images generated *solely* from data in the XML that I do from SVG, I'd be using Flash for several more projects than I do right now. I would not complain if it had full SVG support added in a new release.
Adobe don't own flash yet!
that post should have also contained this: so the person who posted the comment must be dreaming. sorry for posting without finishing. :s
