IE7, patch or full upgrade?
Chris Wilson, the lead program manager for the web platform in IE posted on the ‘IEblog’ introducing himself and outlining his involment in Internet Explorer. They’ve done good work on improving security, this we know. Web designers and developers alike were saddend to see little else.
However, he does state that the upcomming release of IE7 or whatever they’re going to call it will be more than just an improvement in surfing safety; “with every subsequent major release of IE, we have expanded and improved our implementation of web standards, particularly CSS and HTML”. So this seems to suggest that we will get more that just a few bug fixes. I wonder if my selector hacks will blow up in my face. Well I knew that that would be comming, I just din’t think it would be sooner rather than later. Fingers crossed they don’t make a pigs ear of it.
