Despite previous proclaimations that there would be no new version of Internet Explorer until their next generation operating system, codenamed “Longhorn” is released, Microsoft has recently reversed that position and announced that it will be working on Internet Explorer 7, which will be more focused on fixing security problems.
Too little, too late.
The King is dead. Long live the King.
