Gates: IE7 to Debut Before Longhorn
By Nate Mook, BetaNews
February 15, 2005, 1:17 PM
UPDATED Reversing its plans not to release a new version of Internet Explorer independent from Windows, Microsoft chairman Bill Gates now says IE 7.0 will debut before Longhorn. At the RSA Conference in San Francisco, Gates acknowledged that IE had become a security risk and promised a beta of IE7 will be available this summer for Windows XP SP2.
The update will include new anti-spyware features, and likely draw on Microsoft's recent acquisitions of security companies GIANT and Sybari.
Microsoft executives had previously held firm that Longhorn -- due in 2006 -- would bring the next major changes to Internet Explorer. In the past few months, however, Redmond has faced increased security threats and an eroding market share following the launch of Mozilla Firefox.
Microsoft's Internet Explorer Web log shed some additional light on the decision to separate IE from Windows.
"Why? Because we listened to customers, analysts, and business partners. We heard a clear message: 'Yes, XP SP2 makes the situation better. We want more, sooner. We want security on top of the compatibility and extensibility IE gives us, and we want it on XP. Microsoft, show us your commitment.'," wrote IE team head Dean Hachamovitch.
Microsoft officials have not ruled out an IE7 release for Windows 2000, but say the current plan only involves Windows XP Service Pack 2.
"Right now, we're focused on XP SP2," said Hachamovitch. "We're actively listening to our major Windows 2000 customers about what they want and comparing that to the engineering and logistical complexity of that work. That’s all I can say on that topic."

It better have the stability that Links2 can give me, and the sexy grey screen as well. 
Otherwise it's nothing but a useless pile of crap. Like Firefox.

I'd like to see them drop graphics capability in IE7, GUIs are for the weak.

I say drop the CLI and go for punch cards.ogmzergrush said:
Failing that, graphics incapability would make the browser so much better. I'll admit, I'd use it more often.
FIREFOX HITS 25 MILLION!!!!

Firefox Hits 25 Million Download Mark
By Nate Mook, BetaNews
February 17, 2005, 2:12 PM
The milestones keep on coming for the open source Web browser that could. Mozilla developers announced this week that Firefox has been downloaded 25 million times in less than 100 days after its 1.0 launch. Even Microsoft evangelist turned blogger Robert Scoble took the time to applaud Firefox developers for their success.
Since making its debut in early November, Firefox has turned the attention away from Microsoft's ubiquitous Internet Explorer and garnered rave reviews along the way.
In late January, tallies of Web browser usage showed that Firefox has begun to eat away at IE's dominance, and now holds over 5 percent of the market.
"What was just a small flame 100 days ago has since exploded into a phenomenal demonstration of the power of open source. Tens of thousands of devoted users and fans are a powerful and capable force of change," wrote Firefox developers. "More than 500,000 sites now link to Firefox according to Google — a fivefold increase from six months ago."
Microsoft has apparently taken notice of Firefox's success, despite initial doubts about the project. Company chairman Bill Gates this week backed away from a decision to hold off upgrading Internet Explorer until Longhorn; IE 7.0 is now slated to hit beta in June.
"You did what few people have done: you changed the world and got people to download and install your application," said Microsoft's Scoble. "In just a few months your app has become one of the most used Windows applications in the world. My hat's off to you!"
And Netscape 8 news....
Netscape 8 Beta Pushed Back to March
By Nate Mook, BetaNews
February 17, 2005, 3:22 PM
America Online won't be issuing the first beta of Netscape 8 as expected this week, pushing the public release back until March. The company says it needs more time to prepare its revived browser, which is based upon Mozilla's Firefox code base and focuses on protecting users from malicious Web sites.
In January, the Netscape team released a minor update to its prototype Web browser that brought the code base up to Firefox 1.0. Netscape, which has been available to a limited group of testers since November, was originally built atop Firefox 0.9.3.
As first reported by BetaNews, AOL tapped Mercurial Communications to help rebuild its Netscape browser brand early last year. The company hopes to build upon the success of Firefox and bring its users a safer browsing experience under the familiar Netscape banner.
AOL had scheduled a February 18 beta to open Netscape's doors to the public, but development is taking longer than planned. The delay is unrelated to any specific bug or problem, sources said.
"We have an excellent beta candidate, but we wanted to spend a little additional time to polish it before making it publicly available," a company spokesperson told BetaNews. "We expect that a beta will be publicly available within the next couple weeks."
