Internet Explorer 7

Microsoft plans to release/automatically download Internet Explorer ver. 7 soon (by the end of October). This will only apply to users of Windows XP Service Pack 2.

While the program will download automatically it will ask your permission to install. I recommend you say 'Yes'.

I have been using the beta test version for several months and like it a lot. The main differences you will notice will the the layout of the toolbars and the ability to use tabs to quickly move between web sites.

If you do not like the new version you can remove it via the Add/Remove Programs utility

Update: 10-20-2006. You can download the program from http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/downloads/ . Microsoft will start sending it via Windows Update after November first. I have downloaded and installed it on my three computers with no problems.
