[thelist] Internet Explorer 7

>> How much are Mac's again?

$499 and up... like you didn't know.  The latest issue of Fortune 
mentions the Wintel world's desire to get OS X onto a PC...I'm not sure 
Steve would let that happen, but who knows.  $499 gets you a base model 
machine, but with it you get the most advanced OS available - soon to 
get even better with the release of 10.4, unmatched security and System 
UI, the best out-of-the-box media suite in iLife, and ultra-integration 
with your iPod...you do have one right?  For a serious machine, you'd 
be better off investing in one of the iMac G5 models, or go all out 
with the PowerMac G5.

It seems to me that MS is rushing IE 7 to steal Firefox's thunder, or 
at least to make it seem that they are doing something.  Hopefully it's 
better than IE6 and does not introduce new bugs to work around.  MS has 
a tendency to follow other's success, so maybe IE 7 will feature tabbed 
browsing?
