Internet Explorer 7 is Microsoft’s coming browser that will replace the perhaps a bit outdated Internet Explorer 6. Everyone who has ever tried to make a website knows that web standards, and standards in general, are here to make it all a bit easier, but for this to work the browsers have to follow these standards as well. IE7 has earlier been accused of being rather bad att doing this, but according to a statement made by Chris Wilson, Group Program Manager for IE, this is not the case. The fact is that it has actually chosen to go so far with following the standards that it has sacrificed bits of the backwards compatibility. We can only consider this a necessary sacrifice on the road to a more standardized Internet.
