Microsoft's soon-to-be-released service pack for Windows XP will come with a major security-centric overhaul to the company's flagship Internet Explorer browser, including a new add-on management and crash detection tool and several modifications to the browser's default security settings.
According to a document spelling out the implications of the XP changes for developers, Microsoft said the browser will be updated dramatically in order to thwart malicious hacking attempts and to offer a more secure browsing experience.
