MSIE 7 May Beat Longhorn Out The Gate

Quantum Jim writes "InternetNews.com reports that a major upgrade for Microsoft Internet Explorer may be imminent. Apparently in response to the recent mass migration away from MSIE, top Microsoft developers have been soliciting for improvements in the old browser at a web log and at Channel 9, an aggregate journal previously discussed by /.. InternetNews.com speculates that improvements could possibly include support for tabbed browsing, better security, more PNG and CSS compliance, and RSS integration (which Firefox and Opera Mail already support). Go competition!"

Actually, they aren't clueless. Most people (Normal People(TM)) honestly don't know or give a crap about standards compliance. My mom is an example. A great number of people on Guam for instance, believe that MSN and Internet Explorer are all there is to the internet. Also, security vulnerabilities aside, when ever something dominates its market (read ~90% marketshare) vulnerabilities are going to be found in any large & complex software system. You may argue that has better security practices, and it may be so. But the bottom line is that by using , you are not part of the majority, hence you are largely ignored as a target because it is not worth the virus/spyware writer's time.
