Internet Explorer 7 Beta 2 Preview Build 5335.5 comes with a little extra tweaking...

Heads up:  the latest IE7 Beta 2 Preview Build seems to include the activex 912945 update described here:

Ok, this is a surprise and a shock.  Maybe I've simply missed an announcement or heads up, but I don't remember any mention of the 912945 update being included in build 5335.5.

Granted, the changes will be included in the next security update, but it would have been nice to have some warning.

Yeah, I was thinking about this on the bus this morning. The Mix version of IE 7 is released to the public after the KB article is rolled out... the KB article is rolled out because Microsoft lost a legal decision... ergo, any new versions of IE after the loss have to contain the changes made in the KB article.

In retrospect, it shouldn't have been a surprise, because a little thought should have made it apparent - but it also should have been called out in the "what's new" before you uninstalled the old version.
