New Internet Explorer Beta

Microsoft will soon release a new version of Internet explorer (Version 7.0) later this summer. Bill Gates announced at a meeting Feb 15 2005 in San Francisco that Microsoft would be introducing a new version of the webs most popular Browser made famous by Microsoft team members.

The new browser adds a more tighter security and anti virus protection for average PC users,small business, and corporations. RSS will also be available,tabbed browsing to improve searches. This seems to be a something yahoo is already doing with a smart toolbar. Their toolbar installs on Internet Explorer but it also provides Anti Virus scanning, pop up blocking as well.

Responsibility for data protection seems to be shifting to ISP,s like AOL,SBC,PRODIGY,instead of online PC users, since ISP,s pass on data to users via the browser. This makes sense to me. Data is scrubbed clean before it is passed on to online PC users. Version 7.0 is not ready for download, it is still in beta testing stage.
