About Internet Explorer 7
Throughout the development of Internet Explorer 7, Microsoft has listened to customer feedback and many improvements were added at each pre-release milestone. The resulting final release of Internet Explorer 7 is a browser that is ready for prime time. Whether you’re a consumer at home, an IT professional, or a developer, we’re confident you will find new capabilities that will dramatically improve your online experience.
To give readers a detailed overview of new features that can be found in Internet Explorer 7, this technology overview focuses on three areas:
Makes everyday tasks easier with improved navigation through tabbed browsing, Web search right from the toolbar, advanced printing, easy discovery, reading and subscription to RSS feeds, and much more.
Dynamic security protection through a robust new architecture, security features that help defend against malicious software (also known as malware), and new ways to better protect against the theft of personal data from fraudulent Web sites, a practice known as phishing.
Improved platform for Web development and manageability, including improved support for cascading style sheets (CSS), a rich RSS feeds platform, and robust tools for deploying and managing Internet Explorer 7 in large enterprise environments.
Makes Everyday Tasks Easier
Browsing the Web is one of the top activities of PC users. As the Web has become more complex yet more mission-critical, personal and professional PC users are no longer satisfied with being able merely to navigate to one page at a time; they want easier ways to search from multiple places for information they care about. The ability to easily search and consume multiple sources of information daily has become a necessity — whether for looking at favorite news sites, consulting intranet sites, managing finances, performing research, shopping, sending e-mail or even blogging.
To enable today’s savvy Internet users to perform everyday tasks more productively and efficiently, Internet Explorer 7 has been redesigned with new and enhanced capabilities.
PC users can use tabbed browsing, inline toolbar searching, and shrink-to-fit Web page printing capabilities; can discover, preview and subscribe to Web feeds; and can employ Internet Explorer’s cleaner, sleeker user interface to maximize the amount of screen real estate devoted to the Web pages they care about.
New Look
“Frame” is a term that refers to the way the browser’s user interface is laid out. In Internet Explorer 6, the default frame includes menus at the top and a row with buttons for Back, Forward, Stop, Home, Go and so on; below that is the Address Bar.
