IE 7 will be released before October 27

Speaking at the Digital Life Conference being held in New York City, Microsoft announced that the official version of Internet Explorer 7 will be available to users before October 27.

The Internet Explorer 7 browser will be available for free to Windows XP users. However, in order to successfully download and install this new version of the browser, the user's operating system must pass the legality check. IE 7 will be built into Windows Vista.

Microsoft pledged that IE 7 will provide users with completely new security features by being able to run in protected mode, helping to limit the accessibility of various types of software and data stored on. system. IE 7 also has built-in anti-phishing tools.

However, recent statistics show that Microsoft's market share of Internet Explorer has been declining recently. In September, IE only accounted for 82.1% of the global browser market share - down nearly 2% from June's figure and nearly 5% from the same figure last year.

Clearing that gap is the open source Firefox browser. Currently the global market share of this browser has risen to 12.5%.
