Traditionally new versions of the Microsoft browser appeared with the new versions of Windows. IE 7 was not an exception, with it being expected in 2006 together with Longhorn operating system. But growing demands of internet security have forced the software giant to initiate an early release of the program.
"There is only one thing standing in the way of realizing the potential of internet infrastructure: the concerns over trustworthy computing," Bill Gates said at the conference. "This is the top priority for Microsoft, and it will remain our top priority."
According to Microsoft the new version will be more protected from the bugs that make its 6th Explorer vulnerable to the attacks of web criminals. Gates said IE 7 is to contain protection against viruses, spyware, and account scams.
So what does that mean for the software developer...develop better and more secure web applications, because internet security is an issue...
