I have sent you an email which answers your previous question, also. yes the 100% standard compliance will probably reached first by Firefox or Opera! :) Tabbed browsing is a feature I do not want to miss anymore, same with M2. No, you are right, MSIE7 is more a "bugfix release" with features that other browsers all have to keep up with them! Yes, the encouragement to add newsfeeds to site is a very good fact! I hope it will work out! :) Mr Dew: Thanks for the compatibility info. I have sent you an email which answers your previous question, also.

RSS reader is there, I saw that. It's pretty well done. As for 100% standard compliance, I don't expect Microsoft to realize this dream that soon. A number of bugs are fixed though. That's a good start. As for tabbed browsing, it is not the number 1 feature I wish to have, it's kinda overhyped and I don't get excited over that. Internet Explorer 7 is a much needed upgrade though. I doubt that it would shake the browser industry much at this moment of time. But it would sure encourage more sites to offer news feeds!

Yes, I saw it, RSS reader, still no 100% compatibility of the standard, more security checks for websites, more CSS support, tabbed browsing, and that's it. As we all know it will include <a href="http://www.againsttcpa.com/" rel="nofollow">TCPA</a> and that is why I won't use it. I will stick with Windows XP/<a href="http://www.mandrivalinux.com" rel="nofollow">Mandriva Linux</a>. Ask your question in one of your emails to me.

As for the spyware, Microsoft acquired Giant Antispyware and I think it kinda fits into their strategy of providing a more secure computing environment for end-users. I am not sure if the implementation would be successful though. Windows Vista is still in the beta stage, I saw the screenshots and they are none too impressive. What I am more impressed with is the scalable icons and the Windows Explorer. Graphics-wise, it is still lagging behind Mac OS. They need to improve quite a bit, the interface is too cluttered and not "clean" enough. I am not very excited about MSIE 7 now. The excitement kinda dies down after a while. But I'll give the beta a try. And speaking of which, Nafcom, where did you get that beta from? Worry not, Windows Vista will still be compatible with the existing programs made for Windows.

Also, I've the idea that when Vista comes out it may take Microsoft a long time to isssue patches. If it turns out to be something outstanding and revolutionary, then I'll pay closer attention to it.
