beHungry: Are You Ready for IE7?

IE logo The lead story for this inaugural beHungry is the impending arrival of Internet Explorer 7. Once the darling, now among the despised, Microsoft’s Windows browser reawakened from a five year nap to a new world of Web 2.0, RSS, and Ajax—not to mention serious competition from Firefox, Safari, and even Opera. IE7 has a new interface, a bevy of new features, additional support for Web Standards, and, of course, some uniquely Microsoft ways of making more work for you. So, with the launch of Redmond’s seventh Windows browser coming in mere days, if not hours, are you ready? Is IE7 ready? Come on over to Carruthers Conference Room A and share your thoughts on IE7–and, what the heck, Firefox 2.0 as well.
