PC News: Microsoft releases Internet Explorer 7

If you are a user of MS Internet Explorer, you might want to take a look at Microsoft's new web browser, Interent Explorer 7. It has been in beta for some time. I've tried it and it has a lot of nifty features, but I still don't think it can be Firefox. Here is an excerpt of CNN's take on this release:

Internet Explorer 7, or IE7, adds features such as tabbed browsing, which lets people open several Web pages without cluttering their desktop with multiple open browser windows.

Still, a lag of more than five years between official releases has cost the company."
