Internet Explorer 7 Released

Microsoft Corp. has released Internet Explorer 7 (IE7) browser for Windows XP, and they say the new browser provides a greater level of security. Hopefully so, otherwise they might lose even more users to Mozilla's Firefox browser. Sure, a new look, tabbed browsing, and RSS feed subscriptions are great, but security is still the number one concern for me. To make you more confident in the new Internet Explorer 7, Microsoft says:

"In response to the increase in and changing nature of online security threats, Internet Explorer 7 provides advanced safeguards that help protect against malicious software and phishing attacks. In Internet Explorer 7, Microsoft has helped reduce the exposure to these attacks by fortifying the browser itself and providing better information to users to assist them in making better and safer decisions online."

Internet Explorer 7 for Windows XP runs on Windows XP Service Pack 2, Windows XP 64-bit Edition and Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 1. Internet Explorer 7 will be made available in other Windows-supported languages over the coming weeks.
