Yahoo! News - Microsoft Plans New IE Browser, Better Security
Finally! IE 7 is on its way. XP SP 2 certainly improved the security in IE, but its been along time since we have seen a new version from MS on the browser front. So long in fact, that I've been speculating for the last few months that they have been re-writing the browser from scratch.
In regards to Microsoft Anti-virus and Anti-spyware, the only way I can see these going overwell with consumers is as a service model (something MS has been trying to create for a long time). I don't beleive consumers will be willing to pay Microsoft for additional software that doesn't extend their computing experience (the argument will go that they shouldn't need anti-virus or anti-spyware - its MS's fault).
In a subscription model Microsoft can pitch the service as ongoing dedication to the health and maintenance of the installation, anolgizing to ongoing maintenance costs in cars or houses, capitalizing on the preventitive maintenance expereinces most consumers are familar with.
