Analysts Urge Upgrade to New IE7 Browser
Published November 2nd, 2006 in All Categories, Internet Explorer 7
Microsoft’s Internet Explorer 7, a Web browser in the works for some five years, offers several new 
security features, including a built-in antiphishing feature and an ActiveX blocker. Analysts say there’s really no reason not to upgrade to IE7 from IE6, especially since the new browser offers a convenient roll-back option.
"When in doubt, upgrade." That’s what Forrester analysts Natalie Lambert and Colin Teubner are saying about installing Microsoft’s new Internet Explorer 7 Web browser.
Last week, Microsoft released version 7 of its Web browser — the first update in five years — and, with the exception of a couple bug reports that some experts have dismissed as minor, initial reviews have been positive.
In early October, prior to the release of Internet Explorer 7, Lambert and Teubner wrote a research note titled "Just Do It," urging business users to upgrade to IE7 after careful testing of any crucial business programs that rely on the browser. NewsFactor Network
