IE 7+

Along with the release of Windows Vista Beta 2, Microsoft has announced that an exclusive version of Internet Explorer, dubbed IE7+ will be available only on the new OS.

IE Blog writes:

“While all versions of IE7 are built from the same code base, there are some important differences in IE7+, most significantly the addition of Windows Vista-only features like Protected Mode, Parental Controls, and improved Network Diagnostics. These features take advantage of big changes in Windows Vista and weren’t practical to bring downlevel.”

Most of the fuss regarding this new version of IE7 centers around the “+” part of the name. Many are concerned that releasing two different names might be confusing to IE users. We shall have to wait and see if this is a valid concern.
