Internet Explorer 7 - IE7

01 Jun 2005

So Microsoft has announced that IE7 is coming and it is going to fix some of the well documented bugs, have tabbed browsing and support alpha channels in PNG images. The most important thing in my mind is, will IE finally conform to the W3C standards?

Oh and back in November 2004 Ben English fom Microsoft had this to say:

Features such as tabbed browsing are not important to IE users.

Aren' any true IE users. They are just survival of "before standards time".
And is important which boxmodel does it use.

Another important unknown, I think, is the effect it will have on all the casual firefox converts of recent months.

People are lazy, and IE is designed for them. When MS comes busting out with IE7 and an ad campaign targeting switchers, I wonder who will go back to the Blooey.

If it supports full standards then I have no complaint. The Web standards initiative is not pro or anti microsoft, it is pro standards support. If IE7 meets that benchmark then it's a non issue to me whether FF loses market share.

I personally hope it doesn't but that's another matter.
