Internet Explorer 7 Beta 1 – A few details… | |
|
||
| Time: 14:22 EST/19:22 GMT | News Source: Microsoft | Posted By: Jonathan Tigner | ||

We’ve heard some great feedback on what web developers would like to see in IE7, both from the responses to my last post and from the resources I referred to. The rest of the team was cranking away while I was away on parental leave, and I wanted to share a few details about what they were doing: The first couple of things they’ve done are: We’re doing a lot more than this in IE7, of course, and we’re really excited that the beta release is almost here - we’re looking forward to the feedback when we release the first beta of IE7 this summer. Stay tuned for more details as we get closer to beta. | ||

| I don't think that anything Microsoft will do will reverse the events of time. A solid IE 7 might cause a dramatic decceleration in Firefox momentum, but it is unlikely to cause people who have already downloaded the product to have not downloaded the product....unless alteration of the space-time continuum is going to be an IE-specific DOM extension new in IE 7. |

Most people will install IE7 because they want the newest version of any app they have on their system. I will install it, but expect to use it only for the windowsupdate site.
Will other former IE users go back? Only if Microsoft can convince them that the reasons they switched are no longer valid, and more. IE7 has to be proven better than Firefox for them. I also wonder if the next major update after IE7 which brings IE up to par with future standards compliance will take as long as it took between IE6 and IE7. |

Welcome to the 21st century Microsoft! :)
"We’ve actually had this on our radar for a long time, and have had it supported in the code for a while now"... but had no incentive to do anything until a potential threat to our market share popped up. I think we can all find comfort in knowing that Microsoft will only fix things if and only if they start losing market share as a result of a competitor. So much for all the crap that comes out of the Microsoft camp that Microsoft's biggest competitor is itself! |

| Schwit, historically, IEs since v4 have been released with a new OS. 2k got a revamped IE 5, ME got new IE 5.5, XP got new IE 6. Longhorn, due out next year at present, will have IE 8 or 7.5 or whatever. |

| There are way too many Windows 98 and ME users that need better browser security to reverse the movement to Firefox, which on Win 9x is far more secure than IE6. These people do not intend to upgrade their OS until their Win9x PC's die and cannot be repaired for less than the cost of a cheap new PC with WinXP. Unless these Win9x users fall in love with and care about Firefox, they will return to using IE when they inevitably buy a new machine, unless its a Mac. |

I will probably try it but I doubt that I will ever go back to IE, unless they have something comparible to the Extensions in FireFox. So that I can add features to IE like Adblock and many others.
