I understand that one can "lock down" IE (i.e.
http://www.helpwithwindows.com/WindowsXP/ie-sp2-surf-safe.html) so that
it is relatively safe to use. The question becomes: is it then as usable
as before such measures were taken? We heard earlier in the year how
some security experts were telling us to consider using alternate
browsers (i.e. Firefox, Opera, Mozilla) since there were far fewer
security issues and they were patched much more quickly. Now we hear
that IE 7 will soon make an appearance. Will it be the answer some have
been waiting for or will it be essentially the same engine with more
security built in?
