'Lower Rights' IE 7.0 Coming
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."

I was wondering when IE would be able to support the Unicode URL spoofing attacks!
I'm a leaf on the wind. Watch how I soar.
You can use msn! Or, maybe you'd prefer msn!
Or, if those two options don't suit you, you can use MSN!
Mod me down with all of your hatred and your journey towards the dark side will be complete!
Just be glad he didn't say "re-architized".

It seems to me that Microsoft is only playing catch up, has invention died over in Redmond?
Was it ever alive?
From TFA: "Nine months ago, we started hearing from partners like Dell that spyware was a major issue."
Hmm, let's see. (5 years-9 months) times the speed of sound... this means that Dell's headquarters are 46 million kilometers from Redmond.
The creatures outside looked from Alt-Right to Antifa; but already it was impossible to say which was which.
architect IS NOT a verb!
It's a perfectly cromulent word.
when you type in "google" Clippy pops up and asks you "It looks like you want to do a search, we will take you to a far superior search engine" and will redirect you

Yeah, but verbing nouns weirds the language.

Recently, Microsoft already lowered the rights of gays and lesbians by dropping support for a major state anti-discrimination bill. Based on that wildly popular success (with right wingers at least) we'll be dropping the rights for everyone in the next release of Internet Explorer; trust us, we know what's good for you. And for those anxious about what the future holds, worry no more; coming with Longhorn, we'll offer new digital rights management features. Just remember, all your rights are belong to us.
I can picture the yellow tooltip now.
Perhaps, "We copied someone else's exploit defenses"
Microsoft may be a bit slow to get there, but they'll get there in the end.
I'm hoping you are talking about Chapter 11 here.
The best feature of old Slashdot layout is Taco's note next to the "post your comment!" box:
"If you don't have anything worthwhile to say, don't say it. If people continue to abuse this feature, I will have to remove it."
We recently had heard in the office over one of the Yellow Machine that's made by Anthology Solutions.
Just a second.
Greedy M$ is making another foolish move. Hopefully they'll be bankrupt soon. All corporations are inherently evil. Linux forever!
Was that better?
Ahem, yes, I've felt them get there many a time and not even K-Y Jelly helps any more.

> release of IE7?
Simply because Microsoft will put back IE as the default browser after the upgrade.
"...and seamless search that will include choices of search providers."
