Microsoft’s browser gets upgraded

Microsoft has made Internet Explorer 7 (IE 7) available to the general public.

The new version is the first upgrade to the web browsing program for more than five years.

New features include tabbed browsing, the ability to search the net directly and an anti-fraud system to thwart phishing attacks.

The new program is available as a free download on 19 October, but many will get it as an automatic update to Windows XP in November.

    yep it went legit……and yes unknown IE is total crap………………the article makes a good point in that they waited too long to come out with the new upgrade and that they lost a ton of ground to alternatives like Firefox Maxthon Opera etc in the meantime.
