Flexbeta is reporting that according to some screenshots doing the rounds on some forums, Microsoft's answer to Mozilla's Firefox, Internet Explorer 7, might be in its alpha stage.

The about IE shows a build of 0719, and another screenshot shows what appears to be tabbed browsing. No mention of a leak yet, but if these screenshots are confirmed to be real, then a leak is definitely inevitable. Read more for screenshots.

Looks fake to me.

    Why does the tab highlighting look exactly the same as in Firefox (orange stripe at top of active tab)? Additionally, I don't know anyone that actually puts "Alpha" in the version, it's always just build 0719. It's also missing the NCSA Mosaic copyright notice (which should be at the top of the scroll panel).

    Looks totally chopped. I blew up a portion of the dialogue box. You can clearly see the text was taken from a different source. It looks like it was pasted from a screenshot.

    It is chopped. Heh. You can see the off-colour border around the text even without zooming.
