So there have been some persons who have gotten their hands on an official version of Internet Explorer 7. They proved this with some screenshot. However Bunnios has proven the fact it is without a doubt a fake.
His explanation:
The about box, as you can see the box on the left is the one from the IE7 fake and the one on the right is from Windows Whistler Build 2462 (Xp for those of you who are new) What first struck me as a very clever part of the fake was the fact that the windows flag has been replaced with the XP final one on the IE7 fake, however it is noticeable that the version build 7.0.2462.000.main.010315-17:39 (which literally means it was built on 15-03-01 at 17:39) is identical on both shots.
Secondly the product ID is that of a Whistler beta and not of Xp final or .NET betas (XP pro final product key begins 55274). Screenshot here.
It is also painfully obvious that this is XP build 2462 because of that fucking recycle bin with handles, which were removed shortly after this build. Screenshot here.
(left= IE7, right=Xp 2462)
