QUOTE Sources say that IE 7.0–which is code-named "Rincon," they hear–will be a tabbed browser. IE 7.0 will feature IDN (international domain name) support; transparent PNG (Portable Network Graphics) support, which will allow for the display of overlaid images in the browser; and new functionality that will simplify printing from inside IE 7.0, partner sources said. The new browser also likely will include a built-in news aggregator. (Coincidentally, or perhaps not, MSN just began testing a new Microsoft-developed RSS aggregator.) Among the myriad security enhancements Microsoft is expecting to include in IE 7.0, according to partner sources: Reduced-privilege mode becomes the default; No cross-domain scripting and/or scripting access; Improved SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) user interface; Possible integration between IE 7.0 and Microsoft's Windows anti-spyware service, which currently is in beta. Partner sources say Microsoft is wavering on the extent to which it plans to support CSS2 with IE 7.0. Comments? |

Meh, Internet Explorer is just trying to suck up to people to get them off of FireFox and all the other browsers. I have to hand it to Microsoft, they made a fine browser, but they also set it up for people to mod, make better, and distribute to people.
Internet Explorer (I hope) will never be able to keep up with Firefox, I love it too much. Besides, like every webpage you go to tries to get you to download one of those **itty toolbars that takes up half your screen, along with a gig of spyware. I've yet to see some kind of crappy tool/searchbar come up for Firefox. Plus Firefox has some good mods and junk. Now, sum that all up into two words, HEIL FIREFOX!!!

I use internet explorer, I can't be asked to get something like firefox because I would have to download it which I can't since I I do not have the chance to...and also I don't have Norton Anti-Virus 2005 on my computer...yet. But I also think that they might be trying to to get people of firefox or they might just be trying to improve their service for the people who already use them...either way, I know I'm getting it

interesting... well for now IE is probably the worst browser... i mean i wouldn't mind using it if it protected me atleast even bit... i mean the amount of spyware that comes through is just astronomical... my last computer totally broke down because of spyware i remove them and they come back and its an endless cycle, now on my new computer i have used firefox and it hasn't failed me yet so im very pleased with what firefox has given me...freedom...from spyware and popups. If IE wants to make a better browser lets see how good it is, its about time for a upgrade...

Just like the post above i will only get it if it is going to protect me, which i doubt, i only think they are doing it to get people from firefox, i probably wont get it because i am happy with firefox for now, so i wont change to IE anytime soon. I dont know about you guys but i hate spyware.

I highly doubt that Internet Explorer 7 is going to be much better than IE6 at all. It's going to be over-hyped, and by then, Firefox 1.2 will be out, ready to compete with IE7. Microsoft has serious issues.

I don't really like Internet Explorer I don't like how it is ran. I believe MSN is a lot better you can get to your e-mail and favorites a lot fast search the web a lot better.

If you ask me i dont see why micorsoft is even trying. Why compete with Firefox? Its the best browser out there and i just think Micorsoft is pissed because they didnt come upi with something as good as Firefox to sell and make a fortune off of. *beep* Moneysoft and IE7, Firefox forever.

No need for IE7 for me, I can use Firefox/Konqueror and that's good for me especially the new Konqueror has Akregator 1.0 integrated.
