The First Year of IE7 | |
|
||
| Time: 08:41 EST/13:41 GMT | News Source: Microsoft | Posted By: Kenneth van Surksum | ||

It’s been a little over a year since we released IE7 on Windows XP and for Windows Vista, so I thought it would be worthwhile to talk about where we are after the year.
According to internal Microsoft research based on data from Visual Sciences Corporation, there are over 300 million users are experiencing the web with IE7. This makes IE7 the second most popular browser after IE6. IE7 is already #1 in the US and UK, and we expect IE7 to surpass IE6 worldwide shortly.
Perhaps more important than the overall numbers is the positive impact IE7 has made for our users. As you know, we focused a lot on improving security in IE7. We believe IE 7 is the safest Microsoft browser released to date. According to a vulnerability report published today, IE7 has fewer vulnerabilities than previous versions of IE over the same time period. What’s more, the report showed that IE7 had both fewer fixed and unfixed vulnerabilities in the first year than the other browsers we compared. | ||

A) I did not realize GM did this. That really sucks. I hope other car makers do not follow this trend. B) The issue is this: If there is a serious security flaw in a product, such as Word or Photoshop, I can choose to uninstall it and use something else until the flaw is corrected. If there is a security flaw in Firefox that is causing me great concern, I can uninstall it and use something else. If there is a security flaw in IE, tough s^#%. You can't uninstall it, or oterwise deactivate it to better secure your system, even if you are not using it. The amount of disk space it takes up is irrelevant, in this day of terabyte hard drives. It is a user level application, and should be treated as such, and be removable. I have no problem with it being included in the OS by default. I just don't like the fact that I am stuck with it, just because Microsoft has made the poor decision to make it an integral part of the OS. |

| I understand your concern. However, Windows alone is inherently insecure. If people were concerned about security, they would choose to uninstall Windows entirely and go with a different OS. |
