blacktop writes "eWeek has official confirmation from a Microsoft vice president that the upcoming Internet Explorer 7.0 browser upgrade will ship with reduced privilege mode turned on by default to help thwart browser-based attacks. In addition to anti-phishing and anti-spoofing features, IE 7.0 will add support for IDN (International Domain Names), built-in RSS and seamless search that will include choices of search providers."

    Sounds like YOU have issues. Firefox doesn't launch? I'm running it on every machine in our call-center (deployed via AD) and it runs just fine.. have it on my machine at work, and home. We install it on every machine that comes in for repair and suggest people use it... I think *you* are the one with issues.
