You waited long enough (like over five years!) and now it’s time to get that new IE for your desktop. Microsoft has proudly announced Internet Explorer 7 as, “A major step forward in ease of use and security.” It encourages you to explore the tabs, a tongue-and-cheek statement in reference to a new feature, on the web site to discover what’s new.

So what is new? Well, we’ve already told you tabs, which is not really new since Opera was the first with that years ago and then pretty much everyone else but Microsoft had it (until now.) You also get better printing (which is really good,) built-in RSS, and searching from multiple sources. Oh ya, the last tab is about security, but we won’t be a sucker for that one.

If you’re curious to what IE 7 is all about and want to have installed before it shows up on Microsoft Update on November 1st, then visit the Internet Explorer 7 page or go to its download section direct.
