Nonostante l'uscita della beta del nuovo Internet Explorer 7 non sia prevista prima di qualche mese, la Microsoft ha dato alcune anticupazioni sul suo nuovo prodotto

Tuesday, March 15, 2005 . The first beta of IE 7.0 isn't expected for a few more months. But information on Microsoft's security, standards and interface plans are trickling out now.
</p><p>
Since it first revealed a month ago that it was pulling a U-turn by releasing a <a href="http://www.microsoft-watch.com/article2/0,1995,1765128,00.asp">new version of Internet Explorer independent of Longhorn</a>, Microsoft has been unwilling to share many particulars about its forthcoming browser.
</p><p>
Will Internet Explorer (IE) 7.0 have tabs? Will it comply with the Cascading Style Sheet (CSS) 2.0 standard? Exactly how will it make browsing more secure? Will it ship in 2005?
</p><p>
Microsoft's answers? No comment.
</p><p>
Microsoft has shared publicly that IE 7.0 will be focused primarily on improving security. Company officials said recently that Microsoft plans to make <a href="http://www.microsoft-watch.com/article2/0,1995,1771095,00.asp">IE 7.0 available </a>to Windows XP Service Pack 2, Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 1 and Windows XP Professional x64 users. A first beta of IE 7.0 is due out this summer.
</p><p>
But Microsoft is sharing quite a bit more IE 7.0 specifics privately with key partners, sources who requested anonymity claim.
</p><p>
Sources say that IE 7.0 – which is code-named "Rincon," they hear – will be a tabbed browser.
</p><p>
IE 7.0 will feature international domain name (IDN) support; transparent Portable Network Graphics (PNG) support, which will allow for the display of overlayed images in the browser; and new functionality that will simplify printing from inside IE 7.0, partner sources said. The new browser also will likely include a built-in news aggregator.

(Coincidentally, or perhaps not, MSN just began testing a new <a href="http://www.microsoft-watch.com/article2/0,1995,1776182,00.asp">Microsoft-developed RSS aggregator</a>.)
</p><p>
Among the myriad security enhancements Microsoft is expecting to include in IE 7.0, according to partner sources:
</p><p>
<ul>
<li>reduced privilege mode becomes the default</li>
<li>no cross-domain scripting and/or scripting access</li>
<li>improved Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) user interface</li>
<li>possible integration between IE 7.0 and Microsoft's Windows anti-spyware service, which currently is in beta</li>
</ul>
