IE7 Catfight - Meow!
You have to love the scrap that has broken out between The Register's Andrew Orlowski and Robert Scoble over the IE7 beta. Is it ego, pride or simply passion for Microsoft? I haven't had a chance to check out the beta but it doesn't appear to have much in the way of groundbreaking features. There are bunch of reviews already out there - here, here, and here - to tell you nearly everything you'd ever want to know about IE7. What's perhaps most eye-catching is you have to have Windows XP SP2 to use IE7, which leaves all those 2000, ME, 98SE users out of luck - unless, of course, they upgrade. While I'm going to stick with Firefox, I'm sure IE7 will be well-accepted. I only hope the browser market remains competitive and IE sees its share drop below 90%. This would ensure it would only be a matter of time before we saw IE8. Carry on, boys!
