Dead end road

by Volker Weber

If you think Microsoft will provide you with free upgrades for Internet Explorer, think again:

iexplore.gif As part of the OS, IE will continue to evolve, but there will be no future standalone installations. IE6 SP1 is the final standalone installation. ... Legacy OSes have reached their zenith with the addition of IE 6 SP1. Further improvements to IE will require enhancements to the underlying OS.

The next version of IE will obviously need Palladium. You have to decide for yourself whether you want that or not. You may want to do this quickly as you may be running out of options soon.
