Internet Explorer 7 officially released

Yes people, it has finally arrived, and it beat Mozilla to the punch.

The new version features tabbed browsing (hurray!), anti-phising agent, built-in RSS reader and improved printing. And, of course, many more under-the-hood changes like security improvements and such.

But the good news aren’t just for the IE users. Web Designers should be equally happy now, because, IE7 finally adds support for transparent PNGs and is more standards compliant, although, it is still far away from Firefox’s level.

I already wrote a preview of the second Beta of the program, which pleased me greatly and not much has changed since then on it’s “surface”, so go read it if you want to have an idea of what visual changes you can expect from it. It will be available as an update on the next Windows patch, however, you can download it already from Microsoft’s website.

Just in case anyone was wondering, it does require validation.
