Yesterday Microsoft released Internet Explorer 7.

I suppose this means I’ll have to download, install and then spend a good few days making alterations to the stylesheets on all of my sites at work!

argh!

Looking at the gumph on the site, it just seems all so old hat now, all of these features have been in Firefox for years. The only thing it’s got going for it in my opinion is the hope that css works correctly and yet that isn’t going to make a great difference to most of us until everyone who still uses IE decide to upgrade. How long will that be? Some people still use IE 5!

Next scheduled release date: February 10, 2006 (Alpha 1)

Seems very early for an alpha of version 2, well maybe it feels that way from my very late upgrading to v1.5. I’ll still be sure to have a gander. I suspect there’ll not be a great deal to see at such an early stage but it may highlight where v2 will be heading.

Maybe this is a big push with all recent news about the upcoming release of IE7…
