Poor Microsoft, years too late...

Yeah Microsoft is coming out with its best impersonation of the better browsers like Mozilla Firefox and Opera. IE7 will be the browser of choice for the new Vista OS, there is also IE7 version for Windows XP which can be downloaded here. It will have tabbed browsing. In the Vista OS version only there will be a "Protected Mode", whereby the browser runs in a sandbox with even lower rights than a limited user account. As such, it can write to only the Temporary Internet Files folder and cannot install start-up programs or change any configuration of the operating system without communicating through a broker process.
Blah, blah, blah, yeah I can continue sweeting the pot about IE7 but in the end its just Internet Explorer, just a "7" at the end.
