Microsoft releases final version of IE7 for download

Your IT - Home IT

Microsoft has released its long awaited catchup browser Internet Explorer 7 for public download and intends to push it out to Windows XP users as a high priority update through its Automatic Updates online distribution system in November.

The newly released IE7 includes many of the catchup features that have long been available on competing Windows browsers Firefox and Opera, including a search box in the toolbar and tabbed browsing.

Microsoft is also touting the purported enhanced security of IE7, which was a much discussed deficiency in its predecessor

"We listened carefully to our customers and are delivering a safer browser that makes the tasks they do every day much easier," said Dean Hachamovitch, general manager of the Internet Explorer team at Microsoft.

Like Firefox 2.0, which has not yet reached final release stage, IE7 includes anti-phishing functions that warn visitors before they visit a suspicious website.

A handy feature in IE7 that's not present in Firefox is the ability to print a whole web page in portrait or landscape format, automatically resizing the text to fit.
