Microsoft has released the second beta version of Internet Explorer 7. This means that we're very close to a final release of the browser that MS hopes will win back some of its user base. You can read blurbs about it here on BetaNews, over here at DailyTech, & there's a slightly longer article here on ComputerWorld.

Not a moment too soon, I suppose, as yet another "highly critical" security vulnerability is reported for IE 6.
