As mentioned earlier, Microsoft has been busy preparing Internet Explorer 7 for public distribution. It went live for download earlier today. You can read about it at the MSDN IEBlog or you can go to Microsoft.com/IE to download your copy now.

For those unfamiliar with the IE7 Betas, IE7 offers several things that IE6 does not:

• Improved security including phishing detection
• A slicker interface with support for tabs
• Integated "instant" search
• Ability to read RSS feeds
• A better printing interface
