InternetNews | at | by Mike

Microsoft's chief software architect renewed the company's commitment to security Tuesday with enhancements across the company's major product lines -- including the promise of a new version of Internet Explorer with beefed-up security.

Gates said Internet Explorer version 7.0 would be released with new security features and will be available to Windows XP users running SP2 updates. The rest of the world will have to wait until the next version of Windows ships, which is expected in 2006.
