MSIE 7 Will Become Dominant (Again) ??

After a long wait, finally top Microsoft Developer had tried to update their
famous buggy web browser Internet Explorer. This update was expected to came out when Windows 2003 was released last year, but unfortunately, Microsoft was focusing on Microsoft Longhorn's launching and also WinXP Service Pack 2 due to some delays on both releases. These imporevement includes support for tabbed browsing, better security, more PNG and CSS compliance, and RSS integration (which Mozilla Firefox and Opera had already did this in their application).

One thing that I point out about IE's update was the
compatibility on CSS, especially CSS2, since IE had so many buggy
implementation of CSS and CSS2, that caused web developers's works heavier,
since they had to implement some hacks in order to got the same view in all
majority browsers, including IE. Hopefully the next version of IE can give
developers a fresh air about web usability on CSS and CSS2.

Last year report states that IE dominant was decreasing due to unactive
development and also the rising of Mozilla Firefox and also Opera, but after
Microsoft launch IE 7, I think that there will be a new fenomena that
deserved to be seen. We don't know when that time comes, but one thing for
sure, it on the future. But I still believe that Firefox will continue to
gain respect from all Internet users around the world, since their
development roadmap was clear and they will release version 1.0 in this year
and hopefully it will be stable enough to became the default browser on
every computers connected into the Internet.
