Microsoft recently announced that IE7 will be released this month. Although I’m a firefox user, I must say that I am very happy to hear this. I like to build webapps in some spare hours and there are times when IE6 really pisses me off annoys me.
I’ve already done some testing with IE7 RC1 and luckily enough the frustating selectbox-bug is solved, eventually. I must say that I’m not totally convinced that we won’t find new issues but untill now it is working fine.
Microsoft really had a close look at firefox and I think they are definitively following the right path now, a quick list of new features in IE7:
- tabbed browsing (where have we seen that before)
- integrated RSS feedreader (ehh, ^^)
- Improved printing, your content will fit on the printed page now (why did that take them 7 versions)
- Support for opensearch, this will make it easy for you to change the default search provider. Good plan (honoustly).
