Peter O’Kelly: IE7 could extinguish the re-ignited browser war

IE7 could extinguish the re-ignited browser war: “I’m going to look at why Firefox has lit a fire under Microsoft to get serious about Web browser development again, and why, based on my testing of the IE7 beta, I think that it’s quite possible IE7 will take the starch out of the Web browser war.”

  1. How can you describe it as a “Browser War” when Internet Explorer hasnt been updated in years, and WASNT going to be updated in years. Its buggy, slow, crashes, and does an excellent job through its security holes of disseminating virii.
    So when a freeware start up comes along, and technially trumps your browser in a matter of months, there’s now a war ?
    More like a “wake up call”
    Its all very well with the MS assimilation strategy, but once you have done a product, you need to support it and continue development.
    IE is a good example of a stagnant product.
    MS Exchange is another.
    Oh.
    See this ?

  2. Bill, your absolutely right it was / is a wakeup call.
    Browserwar was not the term I chose, it came with the quoted article.
    It is good to see that Microsoft is stepping up to fix whatever was wrong / old with IE6.x and I hope it will stick with regards not being is such a position again.
    As you know becoming #1 is one thing staying #1 is something entirely different.
