Microsoft Internet Explorer 7 released
Microsoft has released Internet Explorer 7 and it is the first major new version of Internet Explorer since 2001. The IE 7, which shares roughly 50 percent of IE 6’s code, runs on Windows XP Service Pack 2, Windows XP 64-bit Edition, and Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 1. Initially available only in English, it will be available in other languages in the coming weeks, Microsoft said.
Vista’s version of IE 7 will contain two additional security features–protected mode and parental controls–than the version of the browser that runs on XP. Vista is on track to ship to business customers in November and to the general public in January 2007, according to Microsoft. Microsoft hopes to win back some browser market share it’s lost to Firefox, which is scheduled to release it’s next version Firefox 2 this month.
