Internet Explorer 7 will feature basic Tab Browsing

It is a case of too little too late. Microsoft is used to realizing many important things a bit late. They realized the potential of Internet so late that they had to literally push the Internet Explorer to our faces by integrating it with the Operating System. And more recently, they entered the videogame console market with the aim of overcoming the dominance of Sony.

Web Browsers is another field where they entered late, but managed to beat everyone else to become the most used brand around. So much so, that they became complacent and as a result, we have not seen any real development in the browser for years now. If it was not for the pressure from the alternative browsers Mozilla Firefox and Opera, they might not have even considered developing the Internet Explorer 7 for the current generation Operating Systems.

The company announced a couple of days back that they would be releasing a preview version of the Internet Explorer 7 later this year. However, what we can expect from this much-awaited upgrade is something Microsoft is not making clear. They have for now said that the browser would definitely come with the popular concept called Tabbed Browsing. However, the developers through their Blogs have warned that the initial versions would come with the basic stuff.

The basic idea is to reverse the initial decision of avoiding putting tabs in the browser without making it confusing for the ordinary user.
