Interview with Microsoft Exec on IE7 and RSS

Posted by ryuzaki0 on Tuesday February 21, 2006 @08:18AM from the down-to-earth dept.

AvianFlugelhorn writes "BetaNews has posted an interview with Gary Schare, Director of IE Product Management, which touches on the changes coming in IE7, Firefox's growth, and how Microsoft will bring RSS to the mainstream. It's interesting to see Schare become more humble since a November 2004 interview, when he questioned whether Firefox could attract more than just early adopters. Now, Microsoft says: 'we respect the work that the Firefox guys have done.' Schare also admits problems with ActiveX and explains why Microsoft will revolutionize RSS." Couple of days old, but still interesting.

IE7 still won't be free (in all senses of "free") by ylikone · 2006-02-21 08:45 · Score: 0, Flamebait

IE7 won't be
1. Free as in "no cost", because you will need to own Windows to run it.
2. Free as in "freedom", because IE still binds you to microsoft
So, even if IE7 is some super great browser (which I doubt), I still will continue on with Firefox.
