1. There will be a spell checker for forms and for people who have office 11 there will be a thesauruse both will work the same way is the right click menu that already exists in MS word(red underline etc)
2. Popups. There will be no popup stopper but there will be limits on what popups can do (no full screen and multiple popups etc)
3. Tabs there is likely to be some sort of tab UI but it is likely to be different to the in Mozilla and Opera.
4. The will some sort of theme ability similar to that of Opera
5. There will be many new features for window XP that will not be in 98,98se,me to do with the abilities of the operating system.

there will be no version for Windows NT4


More Rumors....

IE 7 will be IE .NET and it will be the last IE !!
Microsoft accepted that integrating IE into the shell was a bad idea from a security perspective (not marketing wise ;)) so they are diversifying IE from the shell and making a new browser. MSN explorer is planned to take over when the IE line ends.....

Thx to bink for this news

that is very sad to hear the IE will become dead in the future :(
as IE is the most popular browser in the world, most ppl will get upset with this.
btw i don't like MSN Explorer, which will be another prob, if MSNE is gonna take over IE. doup :(

This is a beta version of IE 7 was from a half finished version of Windows XP Service Pack 2.

That doesn't mean that the news regarding IE7 as being the last version is wrong since I heard about this 3 days ago. I will however place it at such high priority as I usually do for rumors until I actually see it. The list Pittpull quoted sounds reasonable, but MS would be foolish to dump IE though. MSN Explorer sucks! ;)

Sorry what I ment to say was the pic is fake. :(

I will see this in the futur ;)

I really like IE and if a new build is out sometimes, I will try it :lol:
