Bink.nu has just posted some screenshots of what appears to be Internet Explorer 7 running on a version of Longhorn at Gnomedex. The screenies highlight some of the new RSS features scheduled to be put in IE7, and were obviously taken by a digital/phone camera. A video of IE7 highlighting RSS support can be streamed from Channel9
Upon closer examination of the screenshots one can make out the basic layout of the new browser. Microsoft has added a search tool to the top right of the browsing window similar to the one found in Safari/Firefox. A single tab located directly above the menus appears to be running in each of the screenshots. Back/Forward buttons can be found on the top left of the screen with the home, favorites, history and what seems to be a RSS subscription button sitting down by the drop-down menus.
IE7 is scheduled to hit beta early this summer around the same time as Windows Longhorn. In an article posted on eWeek today, Microsoft revealed that RSS will be integrated into the heart of Longhorn. A representative commented that the company is "betting big on RSS" this time around and that "it needs to be in places other than readers and browsers."
