It tells how Internet Explorer 7.0 is coming out THIS SUMMER!

I'll put 100 quid on that it has tabbed browsing!


##EDIT##
It's only for WINDOWS XP SP2

and this is going to be better than firefox how?(new release will be 1.1 I think)

[Xaneden]

I hope so.

I have never stopped using Internet Explorer. I've tried Firefox too, but its far too slow.

I'd imagine, coupled with SP2 Security, IE7 will be awsome.

And another. It seems from this article IE7 is only for XP SP2!

Firefox, Slow?! How do you mean?

[Xaneden]

Erm, the images take up to 3 times as long to load as Internet Explorer. And yes, people have said configure it, but that just doesn't help.

Internet Explorer + Enhanced Security + Tabbed Browser = Surfing Nirvana

[shiato storm]

then perhaps you need help! firefox is way more secure...everyone wants to hack IE cause its microsoft

[Xaneden]

FireFox isn't secure my friend. Its just no one has hacked it yet.

Lets face it, FireFox is at version 1. There is no doubt in my mind that there will be literally hundreds of flaws in it. Internet Explorer is at version 6.1 now, and still has faults. Give it time, and they'll be problems... Mark my humble words.

woteva happened to netscape navigator / communicator lol

anyone use them - or opera?

[Xaneden]

And, I think people who worry about faults in Internet Explorer need to try it with SP2. You'll notice that Active X doesn't install itself without your permission anymore... Also, there are going to be vulnerbilites with the software, but what software hasn't?

[Xaneden]

Opera is basically the last major commerical browser. With Internet Explorer and FireFox being the big players these days, I doubt we'll be hearing about Opera for too much longer.

Lol, Netscape? I haven't heard of that since 1999.

I'd imagine, coupled with SP2 Security, IE7 will be awsome.

I'd imagine you're wrong.

[Xaneden]

I was talking about the firewall etc. I'd imagine they'd be an option to permit sites to do certain things within Internet Explorer, which'd be very handy.

It will be intresting to see what MS do now that Firefox has started stealing its customer base. I moved over to Firefox about 4 months ago and have never looked back. Its much faster that IE as far as I can tell.

Shame my uni still has rubbish Netscape navigator on the machines

[Tumble]

Firefox is built on the bones of netscape navigator tho isn't it? keep getting the message on the Toshiba website that it doesn't support netscape when i forget to use IE to access it

oh and firefox roxor.. you just need to use it/configure it CORRECTLY
