Microsoft is gearing its latest IE 8 release for Web developers. However, a second beta version, scheduled to arrive mid-year, is aimed at a wider audience, Microsoft's top browser executive has revealed.
Microsoft has released instructions for administrators who want to avoid a forced upgrade to the latest version of its browser, Internet Explorer 7, which is due to occur on 12 February.
If you're one of about 200 million people using older versions of Windows and you want the latest security enhancements to Internet Explorer, get your credit card ready.
Microsoft has denied that a 'trick', which could allow an executable file to be launched when a user types a Web address into Internet Explorer, is a security vulnerability.
Microsoft has said it will take "appropriate action" to fix a problem in Internet Explorer and Windows XP SP2 that allows a malicious Web site to bypass the browser's warnings when downloading potentially harmful content.
It's always funny watching an event force a company to break old habits and this IE zero day was enough for Microsoft to do it. As Microsoft Australia's strategic security advisor Stuart Strathdee said "we pulled all stops to get this patch out".
In the just-released Beta 2 version of Internet Explorer 7, Microsoft mirrors the look and feel of other browsers while adding a few unique features.
Two new Microsoft Internet Explorer threats haven't been patched and since one of them is addressed in Windows XP Service Pack 2, users may have to wait until the release of that Service Pack.
Flaw in Microsoft's Internet Explorer could launch a remote attack on systems running Windows XP with Service Pack 2, says security firm.
The software giant is playing it low-key, but a barrage of verbal pyrotechnics is around the bend.
Is Internet Explorer 7 just another security patch disguised as a "new" offering? Should it rightfully be called IE 6.1 for Windows XP Service Pack 2, asks Fran Foo.
Given all the expectations, we wanted more within IE 7 for XP, but Microsoft has given us less.

Microsoft has changed the look and feel of its venerable browser, while adding some much-needed security features.
News analysis: Following its recent settlement with AOL, Microsoft has let slip that it will stop making Internet Explorer as a standalone product. But what does this mean for users?
The software maker launches its first major update to the browser in years, offering tabbed browsing and security additions.
