Longhorn and IE 7 go public beta

Last Friday, Microsoft released a beta version of the next Windows operating system to the public. We are looking at: TOSFKAL - The Operating System Formerly Known As Longhorn. Longhorn was the codename for their new OS - apparently named after a after work bar in the Sierra Nevada. Microsoft has decided to name this public beta Vista. Along with the new OS comes IE7. The IEBlog has released the news here. A short list of new features (as I have heard/read, but not seen - yet):

  • RSS support - Blog community enjoy

  • Improved printing (YES --- FINALLY!!!)

  • Tabbed browsing (a feature Firefox users have come to like)

  • Enhanced security (e.g. Phising filter)

  • Lots of bugfixes to Standards and CSS


    • The official site MS site is here.
