Microsoft is back with Beta Version of IE 7.0 for second time
Microsoft released its second version of Internet Explorer 7.0 on monday,which promises tabbed browsing and better security.In past,Microsoft used to target IT developers and programmers while this time it specifically requests the end users to use this product.And also it is offering round the clock FREE technical support for the users.
IE 7.0 can be used only on Windows XP operating system with Service Pack 2.0.Microsoft was feeling slight decline in the no:of users who are using its IE recently.Mozilla with its Google partner has been gaining ground slowly with its open source offers.But still IE is major player with almost 3/4 of web users relying on it.
And also add-ons to its new products are also released.But I wonder why couldnt they include in the default download instead of making it as add-on.Thus it can improve its marketability.Not many regular users will be aware of the add-ons and even forget to download them later.

Only question that is lingering in my mind is Will Microsoft uses celebrities to deliver its products to make the Users "hear them" as Intel is already bringing many of them for it’s Dual Core processor Ads.
I noticed on the add on’s site that many of the add on’s have to be purchased. Maybe that’s why they aren’t included with IE 7. I almost downloaded IE 7 but then decided to wait awhile until I hear more about it to see if it’s worth trying out. Did you download it? If so, how is it working for you? Do you like it? Do you recommend downloading it while it’s still in beta or is it safe to get it now? Email me and let me know. Thanks… btw I found your blog on blogmad.
