[gui-talk] Yahoo Beast Microsoft to Punch with IE Update

[Jeff Bishop]

I would personally wait for the Microsoft version as to not get the toolbar
and other customizations embeded in it.

Microsoft's new Internet Explorer browser is now available--from Yahoo. 

Although Microsoft has yet to release the final version of IE 7, its rival
has posted a Yahoo-optimized version of the Web browser. The browser is
essentially the IE 7 browser with a number of tweaks, such as Yahoo home
pages, Yahoo as the default search engine and a Yahoo toolbar. 

A Microsoft representative declined to comment on the fact that IE 7 is
available from Yahoo before it is available from the software giant.
Microsoft has touted Yahoo's work as an example of the way other companies
can customize the new browser. 

The software maker has said it will make IE 7 available in the coming days
for download, with automatic updates slated to go to IE 6 users next month.
It has launched several publicly available test versions of the new browser.


Microsoft's first major overhaul of the browser in years, IE 7 adds features
such as tabbed browsing, built-in RSS reader and improved printing. The
company has included a number of security enhancements as well, including an
antiphishing filter.
