Internet Explorer 7 Overall Outlook
Internet Explorer 7 Outlook Review by Jeff Wyrick
While most of you have most likely thought after sometime IE6
was just old, clunky, out of date you will be glad that Internet
Explorer 7 is arriving. Why you may ask? Well I can answer that
one. Below are a list of newly introduced features / security
enhancements to be made in IE7.
Internet Explorer 7's new features:
RSS Reader - Stay up to date on the most important sites you
visit with the new RSS Reader. Keep in touch with new forum post
or breaking news right within Internet Explorer.
Anti-Phishing Filter - Have you been a victim of Identity Theft?
Internet Explorer 7 now protects you from Phishing (Identity
Theft) by blocking known sites to steal your identity. You can
report sites as well to be blocked by the Anti-Phishing filter.
Improved Security - With Internet Explorer 7 ActiveX Controls
are disabled by default that were not used in Internet Explorer
6. With this Internet Explorer 7's security is very much
improved.
Tab Browsing - Another welcomed feature that currently is in
with Firefox web browser.
Improved Standards Support - Another lacking feature of Internet
Explorer 6 is standards support. With the birth of Internet
Explorer 7 you have now a much better browser with the very much
needed standards support.
Windows Vista IE Security = Just WOW
With the release of Windows Vista due by the Christmas 2006
Shopping season the improved security with Windows Vista and
Internet Explorer 7 both combined make a wonder product upgrade.
Internet Explorer 7's protected mode is built upon the user
account protection features in Windows Vista. With this new
security innovation Internet Explorer now runs with low system
rights protecting stuff like things executing like Internet
Explorer 6 has been known to do. This will cut the amount of
unwanted spyware/adware/malware from even installing by itself
simply by visiting a vulnerable website.
Overall Conclusion
Internet Explorer 7 is a much welcomed upgrade over any other
previous version. Internet Explorer 7's security will be as good
or better then Mozilla Firefox. And the welcome of Tab Browsing
will make users very organized as well. Internet Explorer 7 will
for sure take some of the marketshare Firefox stole. Overall
though Internet Explorer 7 is as well designed product from
Microsoft.
