MS Urging Developers To Prep For IE 7

Posted by Zonk on Sunday July 17, 2005 @12:42AM from the the-end-times-are-coming dept.

Mike Savior writes "Eweek has a story stating that Microsoft is telling web site developers to prepare their sites for IE 7. From the article: 'One area that Microsoft has clearly articulated as being one in which developers can start work now to prepare for IE 7 involves the UA (user agent) string. First discussed in the company's Weblog in April, the code change prompted a reminder on Wednesday to developers, telling them that Microsoft continues to run across Web sites that are not expecting Version 7 of the browser, and urging them to test their UA strings.

The only reason nobody sees it as having holes is that the holes are a lot less evident since barely anyone uses FF (as compared to IE). I think IE and FF, heck, all browsers probably have about the same amount of open holes; IE's are more visible because there is more exposure of it to the WWW.
