Microsoft’s upcoming Internet Explorer 7 will run on other operating systems besides Windows XP SP2, the company’s official IE blog revealed Monday, but Windows 2000 remains off the list.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
In mid-February, chairman Bill Gates promised a new version of IE before Longhorn ships, and said the new browser — which will concentrate on delivering additional security against such threats as phishing — would roll into beta this summer.<\/p>\n
At that time, only Windows XP SP2 was mentioned as a supported OS. <\/p>\n
According to the posting on the blog, IE 7 will also work on the 64-bit edition of XP (with the long title of “Windows XP Professional x64 Edition”) and the upcoming Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 1 (SP1). <\/p>\n
About Windows 2000 support, Microsoft hasn’t budged from its previous position. “We have heard the requests for support of Windows 2000, but have nothing to announce at this time.”<\/p>\n
On a related subject, the blog also made clear that a new version of Outlook Express, Microsoft’s for-free basic e-mail client, would not appear with IE7.<\/p>\n
