Internet Explorer 7.0 Taking Hold

According to the latest at Dailytech (http://www.dailytech.com/article.aspx?newsid=5712) Internet Explorer 7.0 is starting to take off as a prevalent browser of choice.

The latest browser usage figures show IE7 has achieved 100 million installations to date. This number should climb rapidly once Microsoft Windows Vista is released on January 30th with IE7 as the standard browser.

IE7.0 was released on October 18, 2006 and reached the major milestone January 8, 2007 - quickly eclipsing the user numbers of FireFox within 90 days of release.

The current browser statistics stated by DailyTech show Internet Explorer holding a full 87% of all visitors to U.S. websites in January:

1. Internet Explorer 6.0 - 62%
2. Internet Explorer 7.0 - 25%
3. FireFox 10.7%

We are currently testing all of our new designs on IE7 and FireFox 2.0. Compatibility issues appear to be minimal with the latest upgrades inherent in IE7.
