Wow... so basically, after how many years of piss poor security with
minimal updates that land WAY short of the mark on security, we're
supposed to be all excited because they're focusing on it?
"Doctor, I broke my leg"
"After months of research I've determined it's broken. Let's fix it"
"What a great idea, doctor."
Blech.

Microsoft has shared publicly that IE 7.0 will be focused primarily on
improving security. Company officials said recently that Microsoft
plans to make IE 7.0 available to Windows XP Service Pack 2, Windows
Server 2003 Service Pack 1 and Windows XP Professional x64 users. A
first beta of IE 7.0 is due out this summer.
Sources say that IE 7.0 â which is code-named "Rincon," they hear â
will be a tabbed browser.
IE 7.0 will feature international domain name (IDN) support;
transparent Portable Network Graphics (PNG) support, which will allow
for the display of overlayed images in the browser; and new
functionality that will simplify printing from inside IE 7.0, partner
sources said. The new browser also will likely include a built-in news
aggregator.
(Coincidentally, or perhaps not, MSN just began testing a new
Microsoft-developed RSS aggregator.)
Among the myriad security enhancements Microsoft is expecting to
include in IE 7.0, according to partner sources:
- reduced privilege mode becomes the default;
- no cross-domain scripting and/or scripting access;
- improved Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) user interface;
- possible integration between IE 7.0 and Microsoft's Windows
anti-spyware service, which currently is in beta.
