I had somehow thought IE7 was in official Beta 2 for a few months now, but I guess not. There were a couple of Beta 2 previews. So far I can't tell any bit of difference and I am still unable to view Page History for anything but today. Also the issue affecting the header on Thrifty.com has still not been fixed. Oh well, FI.
If you want to install, be sure and remove any previous versions of IE7. You have to click show updates in Add/Remove programs to find it.
On another note, it seems to have fixed the issue that I was having only on my computer here on this site where all the text was in Italics. The strange thing is it didn't happen on any other computer, but it did happen on Firefox. Quite strange.
