IE7

IE7

So we’re going to get an Internet Explorer version 7 this year (in beta). That should theoretically be good news but we’ll see what features it will support. I doubt they’re going to do any kind of tabbed browsing (which is what makes Firefox great) and their standards adherence is currently iffy at best so they have a long way to go to improve. That said it’s still the most popular browser on the planet – currently I get 70% of my hits from people using some version of IE.

If anything this proves that big companies can listen to its customers when there’s a need for software updates. Now Microsoft still has to prove that they really can listen and implement the features people are clamouring for.
