Internet Explorer 7: Is Your Site Ready?
Published September 12th, 2006 in All Categories, Internet Explorer, Internet Explorer 7
Potentially more exciting than the arrival of a new phonebook is the planned automatic update of 
Microsoft’s web browser, Internet Explorer. If you haven’t already heard about it–and I’m sure that most of you have–Microsoft is planning to release the first major upgrade to Internet Explorer since IE6 in 2001. With many new features, security upgrades, and changes to the core software itself, it’s a totally new browser that will suddenly be the primary browser of a good 70% or more of your audience. Is your site ready for that? If you don’t know for sure, now’s the time to find out.
At some point during the next few months (the fourth quarter of this year,) Microsoft will be rolling out this upgrade as a high-priority, automatic update. That means that most Windows XP users will simply be online one day when they’ll receive a popup alert from the system tray saying that updates are ready for their computer. Virtually overnight, you’ll find most of your site visitors have made the switch. ptvGuy » Internet Explorer 7: Is Your Site Ready?: Public Television Station Web Development
