Microsoft IE7.0 Details Leak Out

MicrosoftWatch and ExtremeTech are reporting that IE 7 which is due out this summer, will add new anti-phishing, anti-spyware and anti-virus safeguards.

“On Microsoft’s IE group blog, company officials acknowledged they had received some requests for an IE refresh for older versions of Windows, including Windows 2000.

Hachamovitch added that Microsoft is now discussing its plans for an IE 7.0 release “because our customers and partners have asked us, with increasing urgency, what our plans are. We want to convey our intentions to our customers and partners clearly and in a timely way. “”
