While scant on details, Gates said the browser would offer security enhancements to protect users against phishing scams and other online attacks. He also said IE 7 would be for users of Windows XP with Service Pack 2 (SP2). More details on IE 7 are trickling out as Microsoft works on the browser up-grade, reported Joris Evers of IDG News Service.

Microsoft has heard those requests, but has nothing to announce at this time, the news service said, citing the IE team Web log.
