Paul Thurrott: Internet Explorer 7 evaluations

The Paul movement was very quick, already promoted Internet the Explorer 7 evaluations articles, we translated share. Because present IE 7 already officially\provided downloading, in the article involved the truncation attempted me not to put. The recommendation as soon as reads! Perhaps you used the IE 7 very long time, but some functions and operated you not necessarily completely to understand……
After ignores the IE for several years, in February, 2005 the Microsoft unexpectedly announcement could be Windows the XP user issues IE 7. Paul also aimed at IE7 Beta3 to make the evaluation, appbeta also has translated: Internet Explorer 7.0 Beta 3 evaluations. For more than a year comes, IE every time issued an edition can bring the new function and the characteristic. Finally, today the IE7 independent version officially issued! IE7 indeed all must be better than its all predecessors, Paul recommends all Windows user to promote as soon as possible, regarding already found substitutes the browser the IE user also was so.

Why is IE7 worth recommending? Some two aspects:The function improvementandthe security feature, let us start.
First, function improvement

When IE 6 first appears when Windows XP, Paul extremely disappointed: It has inherited the XP outward appearance, but relative IE 5.x has not provided any main function improvement. But, opens source software Mozilla Firefox to be very exciting, was it has awakened Microsoft, thus started to develop the new IE edition. Does not need to be astonished, the best some IE7 function on directly comes as if from to the Firefox characteristic. This is not the bad matter, because some person of strong IE, but they also want Firefox the function.

1st, user contact surface improvement
The IE7 contact surface and IE6 have the huge difference, too has been perhaps radical, its design has followed the Windows Vista design policy.

This designs regretable, it possibly can let many users confuse. Microsoft tells Paul to say that, it knew the layout question and begins the preparation next round IE solution.

Perhaps is because of this design confusion, perhaps is because this edition has many new characteristics, in the IE 7 procedures windows spreads new UI. If you are accustomed to IE 6 or Firefox, possibly can some confidence. Under the IE 7 title blocks, you can see the backlash and the advance button, after follow closely the address fence the matter renovates and the pause button, all these IE 6 all is some, only is the position is different.

Address fence right flank, you will see to a new characteristic: The special-purpose network search frame, you may draw support from Google and Live.com and so on carry on the search operation. In brand-new installment IE in 7, the search engine which tacitly approves is Windows Live the Search service. If is 6 promotes from IE to IE 7, then original tacitly approves the search engine also can collect. Therefore, IE 7 cannot cover your choice, and uses the menu you to be allowed with ease to formulate other search choices.
IE 7 second line of user contact surface element including bookmark control, printing, page and tool, help menu. If you have installed the procedure or the IE plug-in unit, they also can in this demonstration.
Tacitly approves in the situation, the IE menu system is the hideaway, may through the ALT key cut demonstration/hideaway, or through single-clicks the right key choice demonstration vegetable single item on the tool fence. Even if the solution locks the tool fence, project cannot move to other positions.

A speech: The custom was good.

2nd, search conformity

Like Firefox, IE 7 in on the right angle has provided the search tool fence. What is surprised is Microsoft also provides for the user may choose the search engine choice, but is not forces the user to use Microsoft Windows Live Search, although it is tacitly approves, moreover only aims at the brand-new installment the edition. The hot key is Ctrl+E.

3rd, label browsing
IE in 6 lacks the most obvious function is the label browsing, except the security problem, this also is the object which the people frequently complained. Was good 7 finally has this characteristic in IE, did not have the label the browser also to be sure to some people to like?
In the before IE edition, IE was in so-called Windows SDI (single documents contact surface) the procedure. Compares the youth no question in the window, but simultaneously opens the window too are many, the management extremely troubles. Is good has the grouping duty fence procedure in XP the function, may by time manage many similar windows.

IE 7 and Firefox equally all supports new MDI (multi- documents contact surface) to design, may simultaneously hold many IE window in a main window. A label corresponds a IE window, they all distribute in the window crown.

Lucky is, Microsoft improved the label. For example, you may use the quick key (Ctrl+T and Ctrl+W) open with the closure label, also may use the right key menu. Very important is, you also may use Ctrl+Tab to cut many labels, is similar with the Windows Alt+Tab quick key.

Certainly, label operation not only that. You also may drive and rearrange them.

Once you open the label achieved two or are more, the label most left side can demonstrate a chart sign: Fast label (Quick Tabs). In the fast label can in a view demonstrate all already opened the label, was allowed easily to spread the calendar, chooses label which you wanted, simultaneously also was allowed to carry on renovates or operation and so on closure.
On each label, Microsoft all laid aside has closed the button. You may by time close or many labels.

Once you turn on many labels, they may constitute a label group (Tab Group), may preserve the bookmark, moreover, you also may assign this label group for yours home page. In other words, you may when start IE 7 disposable turns on many pages.
When tacitly approves, IE 7 can open in the new label springs the window, but is not the new window, and the new label can open in the background. The label browsing tacitly approves when opens, you may change all these options. But, IE 7 cannot hide the label fence, even if is a label also is so, but this is not a major problem.

In brief, the label browsing is the IE 7 quite satisfying functions, suggests as soon as to try.

4th, collection center

In before IE, Microsoft has only provided the simple collection menu, with the Netscape bookmark menu which old has is similar. Present IE 7 used the new collection center to substitute for the original collection menu, it has concentrated the collection, Feed and the browsing history function. The collection center is springs the kneading board, also may fix in left side.
5th, RSS support
RSS is the current network popular technology, it is through the network issue and the subscription writing and other contents open standards. Most Blog all uses one side RSS the reader to be allowed visits their content through the website or the RSS customer end. But many traditional websites also start to use RSS, because based on pushes technical the attraction not to want manually to examine the new content the users.

Some three kind of RSS customer end: Equally directly provides the RSS function, like the apple in the browser (for example Outlook 2,007) center provides the RSS support, the independent RSS customer end in the mail procedure.

Interesting is, Microsoft has provided the visit entire RSS platform way, this function once only had in Vista only then to have. This meant XP version IE 7 before is more formidable than. The third party procedure and the Microsoft other procedures now all visit RSS which already subscribed and provide the new use experience.
If you visit the website has RSS, then the RSS subscription button can lighten, single-clicks then starts to subscribe. IE 7 has provided a contact surface friendly RSS visit way in the browser interior, also provided the content to filter demonstrates the kneading board. Please note, you subscribe RSS Feeds in the bookmark, it does not use the RSS platform to save, when backup pays attention.

After has subscribed or many Feed, you may see them in the collection center. Right strikes a feed choice attribute to be allowed to carry on more high-level establishments, including subscribes feed the renewal frequency and so on.

Is same with the label browsing, Microsoft also pulls out the point regarding the RSS support, although its Feed attempts to refer is similar with apple Safari.

6th, printing improvement

Since the IE printing function always all has been a hindrance, the most homepages printout can clean most right flank 1/3. But, IE 7 not this questions. Microsoft has repaired each IE printing question in fact, now IE was allowed to be very easy to use.

The IE 7 printings changes all may look at in advance in the printing sees. Tacitly approves the view is“suits”the page, including horizontal, the vertical direction suits as well as the page crosswise and the vertical printing.
This aspect, may unambiguous saying, this Microsoft be the completely thorough correctness, is good!
7th, improvement

IE in 7 has the many kinds of proportions to be allowed to choose, but also may from the definition, not only is the writing also includes the graph. Way: By under angle small tool button or Ctrl+ mouse hoop.

8th, tacitly approves opens ClearType
Some arguments, Microsoft tacitly approved in IE opens ClearType to exaggerate, even if the user has not certainly opened ClearType in the operating system. If you did not know ClearType is any, may own search. In brief, is may improve the screen writing the readability, clearly lets you see the screen writing. But, the user complained said this lets their writing look fuzzily, in particular CRT monitor. If you like, may close it in Internet Options. Honest saying, Paul indicated that, this function simply has not been able to use Window: It lets on the LCD monitor the writing have a liking for is smoother.

Second, security feature


Issued Windows XP version IE 7 is great idea, because in XP the very many security problem all is IE 6 causes. Interesting was Windows XP and Server 2,003 edition IE 7 has lacked the very many Vista version function, but, it still also had its predecessor is more than much functions.


1st, the conformity instead fishes filters


Microsoft fished filters is recently sent the spot market currently to be highest-level other instead fishes the solution, in IE in 7 when first start can ask whether you do open. (Mmm? Why is the closure? Because it must carry on the exchange with the Microsoft server, this involves individual privacy question.) The Paul suggestion is: Opens immediately!


If you visit certainly may time the standard website, will fish filters can trigger the yellow to warn and to warn your this website will look like suspiciously. If a website known is an evil intention, you can receive red warned and prevents you to visit. Certainly, if you thought does not have the question, or may visit.


2nd, deletion browsing history


In IE in 6, if you want to eliminate the electronic trace, you must enter the network option to single-click three independent buttons to be able to delete the temporary file, cookies and glance over the record. Now, in IE in 7, you may directly carry on all operations from the tool button, this function name is "Delete Browsing History" (deletion browsing history). The operation dialog box can let you choose deletes these projects, or solution all contents, are good!


3rd, IDN electronic deception protection


IDN (international domain name) the electronic deception protection will help to guarantee the bedding bag not to contain the mix character collection the malicious website to deceive. This kind of deceit is similar to and 0 carries on in“the domain name”“”O the confusion, certainly, this is only an example, actually had high-level to want this to be more than.


4th, high guarantee authentication support


IE 7 also supports is been called High Assurance Certificates the content, although this technology has not been accepted by the international standard. You possibly knew in the browser the SSL chart sign, generally speaking, this chart sign demonstrated this website is the security and the encryption. The question is any person all can gain the SSL authentication, is possible you the matter which does is simply encrypts you and the malicious website communication. In IE in 7, all present traditional SSL website was all considered is the low registration guarantee, because they cannot by the proof be safe. In order to gain the high guarantee rank the certificate, the website agreed provides massive can confirm this website and its 拥有者 information.


5th, group strategy support


IE 7 supports AD (Active Directory) the group strategy, it lets regarding the enterprise network highly be possible to manage. Specialer is, regarding the choice demonstrated for the first time IE 7 IT manager said, which new functions may select and chooses to be allowed to open. This will be able to increase the enterprise to accept the IE 7 degrees.


6th, other security features


Has the massive other secure improvement. Microsoft requests each browsing window all to have to have the address fence, including springs the window. The ActiveX plug-in unit characteristic prevented ActiveX to control to infect your system, even if you attempted to install, the installment could be defeated. The management plug-in unit function also gives you to delete specific ActiveX to control a opportunity. IE 7 and the Windows Defender conformity is better.


Third, Web development improvement


Although the Web standard experts said Microsoft has not let IE 7 have more standard compatibility, this new browser or has included such as the PNG document, the better CSS compatibility, the CSS 2 localizations and IDN and so on the support. The IE procedure manages lead: Chris Wilson said that, IE 7 has already repaired in the before IE massive Web development question.


Microsoft said that, IE 7 Web standard support must compare the criticism to say was much better.


About the website compatibility, the IE procedure manages Group: Tony Chor tells us IE 7 to provide two to exaggerate the pattern. The first pattern is called Quirks Mode (or Compatibility Mode), likes IE 5 and the IE 6 same plans homepages; Because several hundred outside interior and exterior website rely on the special IE behavior, therefore this is IE 7 tacitly approves the movement the pattern. The second pattern is called Standards Mode (or Strict Mode), Chor is called“us to be best based on the standard tool”. Must visit this pattern, the website needs to increase the special DOCTYPE label to give their HTML document. This also equates to can force IE 6 to the after compatible label website.


Fourth, IE 7 questions


Paul said he cannot emphatically emphasize this content: IE 7 is a quite good promotion. But, was not still perfect, returned has the website compatible question, it also had the possibility to be able to cause the people to unload IE 7 to return to IE 6.


Paul said he certainly is not the frantic bean or sweet potato starch noodles which 7 is organized IE, but Microsoft is investigating and in the next browser issued in the edition solves. These questions including the more dispositions tool fence, enable you to be allowed to tow put the project which the button, moves you to want and so on.


The Firefox many functions IE 7 pieces do not have, like”inline find“. Certainly these functions may from IE Addons Web the site website gain, this with Mozilla Corporation be the website which the Firefox user provides similar, let the IE user have the centralism to search the plug-in unit the place.


Fifth, gain and selling price


IE 7 at present have provided XP the SP2 version, the x64 version and Server 2,003 SP1 version, all are free provide downloading, but need the legal copy confirmation. Moreover, after soon Microsoft will be able to push IE 7 through the Windows automatic renewal. Automatic Sunwui automatically downloads IE 7, but cannot install, even if you already disposed the automatic renewal automatic installment serious renewal also were so. On the contrary, you saw describes the IE 7 welcome screens to, and asked whether you do have to install this browser.


The automatic renewal will be able to start after 3 weeks, Microsoft said it will spend for 2-3 month to enable each people all to obtain.


Sixth, summary


IE 7 absolutely is the choice which wants all not to need to think: If you use Windows, you should renew immediately. The short-term looked that, IE 7 occasionally can have the compatible question, but can be fast good. Certainly, the most websites cannot have any question. The IE 7 o'clock Microsoft should the proud product, the Paul suggestion that, Now downloads, highly recommends the use!
