MIE 7.0 Information

From Microsoft Watch, Microsoft has been keeping details on Internet Explorer 7.0, code-named “Rincon” to themselves, but Microsoft Watch has found some information from their partners. There will be tabs, PNG support, possibly a built-in News Aggregator, and IDN support. Here’s what they said about security enhancements.

Among the myriad security enhancements Microsoft is expecting to include in IE 7.0, according to partner sources:

  • reduced privilege mode becomes the default;
  • no cross-domain scripting and/or scripting access;
  • improved Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) user interface;
  • possible integration between IE 7.0 and Microsoft's Windows anti-spyware service, which currently is in beta.
  • Partner sources say Microsoft is wavering on the extent to which it plans to support CSS2 with IE 7.0. Developers have been clamoring for Microsoft to update its CSS support to support the latest W3C standards for years. But Microsoft is leaning toward adding some additional CSS2 support to IE 7.0, but not embracing the standard in its entirety, partners say.
