Who's Afraid of Firefox?

At the RSA Conference 2005 in San Francisco today, Microsoft via Bill Gates, announced that the next version of IE, version 7, will be released ahead of schedule. Initially planned to be release inside the next version of Window (Longhorn), IE 7 promised to make browsing more secure. No new major features announced yet, but we doubt Microsoft is doing this to be a nice corporate entity. You don't need a degree in rocket science to figure out that ol' Microsoft is getting some pressure from it's corporate clients looking to switch to Firefox. It will be interesting to see what inside IE 7, or it's just another round of F.U.D. coming out of Redmond.
