CNN: Microsoft’s New Browser
August 29th, 2008
Interesting, of all the features in Microsoft’s new browser, this one is getting the most attention. Think Microsoft has lost market share to Mozilla/Firefox/Safari because it did not previously offer this “protection?” It’s like reporting about the hidden channels on your cable or satellite box. It is difficult to separate culture from the true purpose of the technology, but I guess the average viewers of CNN may find this interesting. I did read about it already in some of the blogs that I follow, and CNN got the facts right. But, I find it somewhat distressing on what they focused this segment. Now, all popular browsers give you “privacy.” I think a better title would be, “Microsoft’s Nude Browser,” but that would be a cheap shot. A title like that would get more clicks. So far, I’ve heard good things about this new version of IE, so when will it be ported to Mac? Watch the video on CNN.com. It’s good.
