Standalone IE 6 closer to public beta 
http://news.cnet.com/news/0-1005-201-4968081-0.html
"As Microsoft appeals the antitrust verdict related to Internet Explorer, the 
company is inching toward delivering the first public preview of a 
standalone, next-generation browser.

Sources close to Microsoft said Tuesday that the company has been debating 
internally whether to make IE 6 available only as part of Windows or also as 
a separate product. In the antitrust verdict currently on appeal, Microsoft 
was found to have unfairly pushed its browser by bundling versions of IE with 
its flagship Windows PC operating system software. 

So far, Microsoft has not made a separate trial, or "beta," release of IE 6 
available to a large number of testers. Instead, the company has made 
"technical" IE 6 betas available to a subset of testers via integrated beta 
releases of its Windows XP client operating system. 

But according to a document published on the ActiveWin Windows enthusiast Web 
site--allegedly a copy of the release notes for the upcoming IE 6 public 
preview Beta 2--Microsoft plans to make IE 6 available as a standalone 
browser."
