At RSA conference 2005, Microsoft Chairman and Chief Software Executive Bill Gates announces Beta Release of Internet Explorer 7.0. It will be available around this summer.
There are two main issues regarding this release that really concern me. Security and W3C standard.
It's been annoying by the sudden appear of Online Gambling Pop Up, Weather Cast deskbar, and other disgusting-unperdictable Ads anytime I run programs that use IE as their based browser. To name few of those are Download Accelerator Plus, Flash Get, and so on. I leave IE since the release of 0.7 beta version of Firefox. Now with the announcement of new IE will it be able to fight against phishing, malicious software and spyware?
Furthermore, IE stupidity of having its own behaviour on managing web standards make most webdesigners and webdevelopers pique. Hopely, newer IE could handle transparent PNG support, fixing floating issues, etc.
IE wants to gain its market losts. Firefox should be aware! Pay attention to corporate users that are sensitive with their running applications. They won't change their application in order to run smoothly under Firefox. For now, I'm happy with Firefox.
Will we see 'tabs' in IE7? Time will tell :-D
