Boo hoo...folks won't be able to get M$ Internet Exploder...I mean Explorer Version 7 unless they're using WinXP. If you're on anything earlier, you're S.O.L.

Another good reason to use Firefox, Mozilla Suite or Opera.

Microsoft has attracted a storm of criticism after confirming that it will not make the next version of Internet Explorer available to users of its Windows 2000 operating system.

Microsoft had previously kept quiet about whether IE7 would be available for Windows 2000, a version of Windows that will remain supported until 2010. "We have heard the requests for support of Windows 2000 but have nothing to announce at this time," Dave Massy, a programme manager on the IE team, said in a blog posting in February.

IE7, which will be available in beta from this summer, will offer improved security features and basic tabbed browsing.

Tabbed browsing? How about that! Its only been around in Opera for about ...oh...five years and of course in Firefox since its beta days.

ZDNet UK article

If you haven't switched yet:

Firefox

Mozilla Suite

Opera
