“we heard you”
Today Microsoft have released the long-time coming Windows Internet Explorer 7 (IE7) for Windows XP Service Pack 2. IE7 has been touted by Microsoft as ‘easier and more secure’, although the latter point will be a wait and see scenario as there are already rumours of a security flaw in IE7.

Windows Vista will ship with IE 7 only, with rumours circulating that it will simply be called Windows Explorer 7 in Vista…
