'Lower Rights' IE 7.0 Coming

Posted by timothy on

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."

    The browser will also improve Web page printing capabilities like the automatic "fit-to-page" feature, Mangione disclosed.

    Hopefully this will be copied (a la the yellow information strip) into Firefox pretty soon. I'm fed up of printing a page only to find that the rightmost 20% is missing.

    Me too. I brought http://microsoft.com a long time ago, and was wondering when I would be able to use it for some fun with other than pre-idnfix-firefox users. Any suggestions on what to put up?

    You're going to drive across the ocean? That's going to be a fucking pain doing that everyday. I mean, let's say you have a REAL car (read: American car) and can go 130mph, it's gonna take you a few days just to get to Europe.

    Seriously, you should just learn to fly.
