Microsoft Preps IE7 Beta Refresh
21st Mar 2006, 07:53 GMT
On Monday at the Mix '06 conference in Las Vegas, Microsoft will issue a refreshed version of Internet Explorer (IE) 7 beta, which the company is describing as feature complete. The company will also discuss the next version of IE at the show, which will likely include features that didn't make it into IE 7, including a true download manager and more seamless inline Web page searching. A Microsoft representative told me last week that the company would issue an update to IE 7 at the Mix '06 show, a conference aimed at Web developers. Also, IE developers discussed the release during a recent online chat. "The important thing about this release is that no further layout changes will be made for IE 7.0," Microsoft's Cyra Richardson noted. "[Mix '06] attendees will receive several items at the show that will allow them to better test IE compatibility. We will be striving to allow attendees to start testing with the layout complete version of IE 7." Looking forward, Microsoft expects to ship subsequent IE versions far more quickly than before, with nothing like the gap between IE 6 and IE 7, according to the company. Microsoft will solicit feedback for future IE versions at Mix '06. News source: Full Article @ Wininformant Read full story...
