Also note that it will only be made available for XP. Everyone else will have to stay on IE6 or earlier. Carl. Windows XP now accounts for 60% of all Internet users now? I'll probably just put a notice up, telling people to download Firefox or Opera if they're on Pre-Windows XP or IE7.0 if they're on Windows XP. However, watch out if a large % of your site visitors are corporate or academic (K-12), many schools and companies don't update their WWW software unless its like 6 months overdue. I'm sure we all have experiences with schools and the like still running Flash 5. -- -David R ** The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list getting help **

Here's a quote from the press release: Internet Explorer 7.0, designed to add new levels of security to Windows XP SP2 while maintaining the level of extensibility and compatibility that customers have come to expect.

They can correct CSS2.1 handling for strict and XHTML doctypes whilst maintaining non-compliant sites who continue to use the HTML4.01 (and prev) DTDs. Of course, adding support for the application/xhtml+xml MIME-type wouldn't do any harm. -- -David R ** The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list getting help **
