Deans' World - Microsoft Joins 21st Century By Dean I see that Microsoft says they'll be shipping Internet Explorer 7.0 soon, and making their anti-spyware software free. Amazing how a superior competing product acts as a sharp prod, isn't it? New IE 7.0 Coming Soon Posted by Michael on 16 Feb 2005 - 02:44 17 comments Previous Post \| Software News \| Next Post Bill Gates said today that Microsoft plans to release a new version of Internet Explorer with built-in security features and he also announced that the Microsoft Anti-Spyware software will be free. In a speech Gates told those who attended that Internet Explorer 7.0 will be released for testing in the summer and it will feature built in anti-spyware tools. Microsoft has come under pressure to upgrade its Internet Explorer browser which is plagued with security holes and susceptible to spyware and adware. Microsoft had originally said that they had no plans for an Internet Explorer 7 and only changed their mind with the growing popularity of Firefox an Open source browser. Bill Gates also told those who attended the Speech that Microsoft will offer their Anti-Spyware software for free. The software is currently in the beta stage and can be downloaded at Microsoft.com . The software has been an added bonus to all Windows users. We at hardwaregeeks.com think it is one of the best anti-spyware programs available. Just a tip for all the PC users out there novices and experts alike; when you browse the web be aware of what site you visit what you download. Although there are programs to get rid and protect your system from spyware, adware and viruses you’re best defense is awareness. Don’t let software give you a false sense of sense of security. So head on over to the Microsoft beta site (http://beta.microsoft.com) and request to join the beta. There isn’t an application to join specifically the IE 7.0 beta but you can use the contact information on the beta site to request to be considered to join.
