Yahoo launches customized IE 7 beta

CNET News.com: "The lines are being drawn in the search wars, with Yahoo and Microsoft squaring off against Firefox and Google.
Yahoo has launched a customized version of Microsoft Internet Explorer 7 Beta 2 which has Yahoo search built into the browser.
The customized browser sets Yahoo.com as the default home page on the primary tab, while Yahoo Mail automatically loads in the secondary tab. The Internet giant used Microsoft's Internet Explorer Administration Kit to customize IE 7, according to a Friday post on IEBlog.
Although Yahoo's customized browser presets the home page and search to Yahoo properties, 'users can easily change the settings, just as they can with the standard version that [Microsoft] ships', according to IEBlog. "
