IE7 Details Emerge

Posted by timothy on from the finger-in-wind dept.

Varg Vikernes writes "Microsoft Watch has a story about new features we can expect in IE7 (code named 'Rincon') which they gathered through Microsoft's key partners. Apparently we can expect 32 bit PNG support, native IDN support, new functionality that will simplify printing from inside IE and, of course, tabbed browsing. The new browser also will likely include a built-in news aggregator. Apparently an important factor is security."

  1. The CD o' Doom by Lifewish · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Security is, for me, one of the major reasons for installing Firefox. As a resident of a decent-sized campus type university, I regularly find myself doing tech support for friends' spyware-encrusted computers. That's why I carry the CD of Doom at all times.

    Currently it includes Firefox, Zone Alarm (freebie version), Spyware S&D and AdAware. Wipes out 95% of spyware and prevents reinfections - it makes the chore almost fun.

    Any thoughts on other stuff that could be usefully added to it?
