Internet Explorer 7 is gold and available for free download from Microsoft.com.

I’m an avid Firefox user (and I won’t be deserting either), but I have been running IE7 since RC1 and on many levels it is far superior to IE6.

When I say superior I mean it in terms of functionality (RSS, tabbed browsing etc) and increased security with tools such as a built in phishing filter that will help protect you from visiting nefarious sites designed to steal your vital information.

As far as I know, IE7 will be pushed out to everybody over Windows Update in the near future, but it won’t be a mandatory install.

I’m going to be recommending to everybody to install it when Windows Update asks them to, but if you’re reading my blog t hen you’re definitely web savvy enough to hurry over to the download site and install it today.

    Yeah, it’s really not all that bad that people make it out to be. Tons better than IE6. Firefox has been pissing me off lately with displaying images as ‘color’ boxes. It’s weird. Anyway. nice blog. =)

    I’m not sure what you mean by “color” boxes? What version of FF are you using?

    Oh, thanks for visiting my blog! :)
