With the recent thread here mentioning Firefox, its interesting now to
mention that its impact the last year actually made Microsoft change their
mind on having IE6 stand pat... Most of you likely already heard this news
last week.

Internet Explorer 7 Announced
Mike McDonald | Contributing Writer | 2005-02-15
It may be simply an idea whose time has come. It may be that Firefox is
making enough noise to raise some eyebrows in Redmond. Either way, it looks
like IE7 is on its way.
Today at the RSA Security Conference in San Francisco, Bill gates announced
plans for a new version of the world's most widely used Internet browser.
Experimental versions of Internet Explorer 7 are expected to be ready for
testing as early as this summer. The new and improved IE is apparently being
developed with security being tops on the priority list. Measures to help
users avoid 'Phishing' scams, spyware and viruses are expected to addressed
in full as Gates pointed out that Microsoft has dedicated nearly $2 billion
of it's annual research and development budget on security.
While Internet Explorer still holds in excess of 90% of the browser market
share, the new Firefox browser continues to gain popularity largely from
veteran surfers seeking a higher level of security. Some statistics show
Firefox with as much as 5% of the browser market. While 5% may be a far cry
from IE's 90%, it represents one of the strongest showings from a non IE
browser in the past 10 years or so.
