Got rights? IE7 won't have!

In an attempt to make IE7 significantly more secure than previous versions of Internet Exploder, Microsoft will be taking various measures, reports eWeek:

"We've re-architected it to defend against exploits," Mangione said, describing IE 7.0 as a "lower rights IE" with base minimal privileges.

"re-architected", not a ground-up re-write then? Shame.

A Web browser spoofing vulnerability has returned to plague the latest version of Mozilla Firefox and other Mozilla browsers, a security researcher reported Monday.

The seven-year-old frame-injection vulnerability could allow an attacker to load malicious content in the browser window of a trusted Web site, reported Secunia, a Denmark-based security company.

both browsers have their good and bad points

I can't see people using IE in the "safe" configuration that 2003 server ships with though.
