Microsoft's® Internet Explorer™ is the
world's most preferred and most used web browser.
As of 2007, Statistics from W3Schools
suggests that Internet Explorer is the most common browser, XP is the most
dominating operating system with most users displaying in 1024x768 pixels
or more, with a color depth of at least 65K colors. Internet Explorer
continues to expand it presence with yet another rendition, Internet
Explorer 7.0.
After a long beta period, IE 7.0 has
been unleashed with enough features & add-ons to satisfy the novice
surfer while ensuring a continued platform for the techie to build on.
During the design phase of Internet
Explorer 7, Microsoft's IE team paid close attention to developers and
code tweakers concerns while addressing the comments posted in help
sessions, forums and blogs.
This was a much different approach from
previous versions of IE, which many would equate to the Firefox flare.
This was partly true but partly hype by the Firefox community.
On the surface, there are many
similarities with the two, but deep down they are very different browsers.
Firefox is built on the old Netscape Browser platform, while Internet
Explorer 7.0 is built on the Internet
Explorer 1.0 platform created back in 1995. Because of this, IE 7
is a more mature browser with much of the same developer base of version 1.0
from 1995.
Since 1995 though, a lot has changed with
the IE 7 browser. Security, for one, is improved greatly. After the malware
attacks of 2005 & 2006, many felt they had no choice but to try the
new guy on the market - the Firefox browser. Because of its newness, the
malware writers were taken off guard for a short bit and surfers were safe
again.
Before long, Firefox (just like all
software) was being attacked
in the same way as IE 6, leading many surfers back to their old-new friend...IE 7!
Internet Explorer 7, even with all it's
glory, does have some issues to work out (just like all software). We have helped many surfers
adjust to this revised web browser and we can help you too. We have
compiled a small database of IE 7 Repairs
& help files for you to enjoy.
Let us know if we can be of help!
