MS release new browser beta next week

Source: ZDNet News



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.
