Final Version of Internet Explorer 7 Now Available
Published October 19th, 2006 in All Categories, Internet Explorer, Internet Explorer 7
Microsoft today released the long-awaited version of the Internet Explorer 7 browser for the 
Windows XP operating system. It is the first major new version of Internet Explorer since 2001.
IE 7 for Windows XP is available as a free download, and it also will be offered as a high-priority update via Microsoft’s Automatic Updates service starting in November. IE 7, which shares roughly 50 percent of IE 6’s code, runs on Windows XP Service Pack 2, Windows XP 64-bit Edition, and Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 1. Initially available only in English, it will be available in other languages in the coming weeks, Microsoft said.
This IE 7 is a "subset" of the version of IE 7 that will be included as part of Windows Vista, the next version of Microsoft’s client OS. Vista’s version of IE 7 will contain two additional security features–protected mode and parental controls–than the version of the browser that runs on XP. Vista is on track to ship to business customers in November and to the general public in January 2007, according to Microsoft. PC World - Final Version of Internet Explorer 7 Now Available
