I believe there is an implication here that the previous
build of Internet Explorer 7 beta had security issues. IE7
is likely to end up in the same way as IE6. Just as they
promised a secure Windows (Vista) and, just 6 months before
its release, Symantec prove it to be hijackable...
Words are cheap. Actions are an entirely different matter.
The new and yet-untested code, the 60% impending re-write,
the scraping of Longhorn in September 2005... all of these
factors indicate that, just as Symantec said, Vista will be
/less/ secure than Windows XP. Wait and see..!
Best wishes,
Roy
