It's not really an offer for people that download IE Beta 3.  The Special 
offers link is available on many places on their website such as
http://www.microsoft.com/genuine/default.mspx?displaylang=en

I'm guessing somebody forgot to update that link that has Beta 2 listed.  :)

  Ok here is an easter egg in the download of IE7 Beta 3 that I haven't seen 
posted anyplace.  Go to the Microsoft IE 7 download site and go through the 
paces of downloading the program.  After the program downloads have a look at 
the results page and up in the upper right  corner of the screen your see a box 
that reads "Special offers for Genuine Advantage Customers"

  Click the box and you will be presented with a screen that lists all sorts of 
freebies. Choose WISELY though because you only have one chance to pick. 

  Here are some of the choices for FREE offers once you validate:

  Offers 

          a.. Microsoft Soccer Scoreboard 
          b.. Microsoft Private Folder 1.0 
          c.. Microsoft Carioca Rummy 
          d.. Internet Explorer 7 Beta 2 
          e.. Microsoft Windows Defender (Beta2) 
          f.. Media Center Karaoke Plug-in 
       

  Now I think that the absolutely coolest of these is the Private Folder Plugin 
for Windows XP.

  Microsoft Private Folder 1.0 is a useful tool for you to protect your private 
data when your friends, colleagues, kids or other people share your PC or 
account. With this tool, you will get one password protected folder called 'My 
Private Folder' in your account to save your personal files. Download and have 
your private folder today!

   

  Almost free...all you have to do is validate.  Cool stuff!
