Finally, Microsoft attempts to play catch up to competitors Firefox and Opera with it's newest release of Internet Explorer (ver. 7)."So what does upgrading do for me?" you ask. Well, basically Internet Explorer 7 now allows all the faithful IE users to enjoy the same benefits that Firefox and Opera users have had for some time. Some of these new features include a maximized viewing area, tabbed browsing, live search, built in RSS feed support, and new built in security features.
I downloaded IE7 today, so I have not used it enough to develop a fair opinion. I will be sure to get back to you on this at a later date. I challenge you to be adventurous and download IE7. Let us know what you think!

I have been using it for about 2 months now and have to say I love it. The usefulness is incredible. The ability to save your RSS feeds from blogs is awesome. I like the ease of navigation among the tabs and the interface itself is more user-friendly. The only drawback to all the security features is the speed at which pages load now. Although the speed is slower, the security features are needed.
The added security features that IE7 adds can be disabled, increasing the speed of browsing. I will try to post more information on how to do this later on. Until then, contact me at cdecker@lenoir.k12.nc.us for instructions.
