Well there's a new version of IE coming out (http://blogs.msdn.com/ie/archive/2006/02/01/522737.aspx). I certainly won't be downloading it but it will be making a threat to Firefox's growth. Basically this new IE is Firefox. All the "new" features do just seem to be direct copies of Firefox's items. Trouble now is that Firefox had a number of useful and unique features. Now IE has implemented these features as well, better standards compliance isn't really going to attract the desktop user.

Anyway, thought some people would want to see that.

Just to add from LT post.
IE 7 is in Beta 2, one step from full release, and there has already been a massive security hole discovered.
Typical M$ really :D
