A new and improved beta version of the browser, now called "MSN Explorer," is to be released next week. |
It is also easier on Web novices. For example, if someone tries to type an e-mail address in the Web browser instead of opening an e-mail program (something Sanford said new users frequently do), the browser will realize that the user is trying to write a message and will launch the e-mail program for them.
The software also softens the utilitarian feel of Microsoft's Internet Explorer Web browser, using pastel colors and cartoonish icons. It also boasts a built-in media player so users can continue to surf the Web or work online while watching a video news clip or listening to a song.
