Where is IE7?

by jp on June 2, 2003

I have been waiting for long while new Internet Explorer and today I read from slashdot that it’s not even under development??? IE6 has been here now… how long… at least 2 years but still there is no news about new majour release. However, my default browser hasn’t been IE for long time but Mozilla and now lately I have change Mozilla to Firebird. Mozilla from heavy surfer/webdesigner/javascripter point of view is now days much better than IE6. Therefore I think in future MS might start to loose at least few procent users to mozilla.
I really like firebird I wish MS would come with some innovative like firebird and safari. This brings me to another question.
If MS paid AOL 750 Million dollars to settle the lawsuit in a complicated deal that allows AOL to continue to use Internet Explorer for several years. Why on earth AOL used 4.2 Billion dollars for buying Netscape and then having huge bunch developers working on Netscape and Mozilla but continue to use Internet Explorer? Well, luckily I’m not owning any AOL stocks.

Well, actually I setup this Blog for improving my English. I know it’s bad and I see myself quite a many typo errors.
I have also annoying habit to not read what I write afterwards. But I do try to fix that one also. :)

I don’t know what language you speak normally, but your English is very good for a non native speaker.

Lisa: stfu.

Lisa: you mean “because”, not “cos”, I presume? I mean, I am just saying this for the sake of good English.

There will be no IE7. MSIE development team has been disbanded and the new browser from Microsoft will be built on new engine.
BtW 57% of visitors on my website use Mozilla – cool, isn’t it?
And please, excuse my poor english, I am not native speaker too…

Actually guys…..

This site presents a fix for many of IE’s annoying problems:-

http://dean.edwards.name/IE7

The fix comes by the inclusion of a style-sheet, and hence, it’s easy to roll out!

MS’s lack of further development does not mean that no-one is doing anything about IE’s flaws.

Hat of to Dean for his dedication to this project!
