On a Microsoft blog announcing IE7, some people can barely contain themselves:

# Can't wait!

A few preliminary words...

My experience with IE 6 since its release has been fine as paint - all I have to do is not browse like a moron and weird crud stays off my system. It has serviced me very well, and there has never been any chance of me switching to a second-rate browser with a tortoiselike development process. As long as IE remains the driving force in WWW capabilities and makes it easy for me to interact securely with a sometimes dangerous global network, I will stick with it.

That said, I look forward to IE 7. I expect the same take-my-breath-away innovation that Microsoft has repeatedly demonstrated over the years in the full breadth of its products. I won't pretend to know what's in store, because no matter what I guess, I will be pleasantly surprised. I always am.


(Yup, he's for real)
