Prepare for Internet Explorer 7
Microsoft is to launch a beta release of their next version of the web browser Internet Explorer sometime later this year. Earlier the company had plans to launch Internet Explorer 7 version only in their next operating system release currently codenamed Longhorn though pressure from the Open Source Browser Mozilla Firefox seemed to have changed their strategies.
Now, that the beta release is coming near, the company has advised the web developers around the world to be prepared to update their websites for this updated browser. Considering, Internet Explorer remains the most used web browser around the world, it is crucial for corporates to have their website working in all the popular versions of the browsers available in the market.
The expected time for the launch is in this summer only and the company wants Web site developers and managers to run certain tests now to prevent problems when the beta version does appear. They have however not released many details on what the new version would introduce. The company has just said that they would be adding more support to the established standards and add tabs to the browser.
More information is expected to be released through their technical resource site. Gary Schare, director of Microsoft’s Internet Platforms and Security Product Management said in a statement: “Follow the IE Blog to gain general technical insights about IE 7 directly from the development team. Stay tuned in the coming months as we announce more details.”
One of the important suggestions from Microsoft is that the web developers should update their browser sniffers to tell the servers to treat the Internet Explorer 7 browser as at least Internet Explorer 6 to cut down on incompatible code sent to the browser. However, most developers around have started developing sites following the common web standards making them compatible with almost all the available browsers around.

Unless and until they introduce better functionality than firefox i m not going to migrate back to IE. Also security issues are always there.
sir,
will the coming google os will compete with windows?
Yes,firefox is much better that IE.
Does google release his own OS?If so,it’s amazing!
Does not really matter to me. Firefox is here to stay. Who cares about IE 7.
Microsoft, get off my internet. What firefox offered us is improved security, features, speed, and most important to us web developers - standards compliance. you can’t be more compliant, you’re microsoft so you won’t be faster, you don’t care about security, and you’re only innovative when you feel you have to be, so I doubt you’ll introduce important features. Any strategy you could be planning would be to get the internet to go back to catering to you. that is stifling progress. you’re a social parasite. get off my internet.
Come On guys lets adopt IE 7 and then expose its many vulnerabilities
So IE7 can’t be used on Win2000? Ahhhh, I’ll have to stay with Firefox and continue to miss getting all those lovely viruses my friends get! I will be interested, though, to see if IE7 has adopted ANY of the features that makes the Firefox Bookmark features alone 100% better than Internet Explorer.
