IE7 on the loose

Since last week Internet Explorer 7 (IE7) is finally available for download, and it was about time! This is the first major upgrade to its browser software since the release of IE6 in August 2001. You would think that 5 years is enough to test this thing, but the first security vulnerability is already a fact. And it’s getting nasty! A dispute has broken out because Microsoft claims the vulnerability stems from a flaw in Outlook Express, but security researchers say that since the bug can be exploited via IE7 it is really an IE7 vulnerability.

Anyways, I’m here to write about RSS and that should be one of the most important features for IE7. Yep, IE loves RSS. But I’m curious what you think of this and if these features are worth the hassle?

Oh, and by the way; MS has already started work on planning the next version of Internet Explorer (which includes, of course, plans for the next version of the IE RSS features and the Windows RSS platform). More here.
