Re: IE7 to tighten priviledges

I'm assuming 'tightened-priviledges' is referring to user-priviledges? :D

IE7: I see you would like to search the web, why not give MSN search a go

User: No thanks, I stick with my current engine.

IE7: Are you sure? It's very nice.

User: No really it's fine.

IE7: Ah, go on go on go on go on go on....

Sounds like something from the Marketting Division of the Sirius Cybernetics Corporation[1]

Sounds like it'll be like internet explorer 6 on server 2003, only with tabs.

On server 2003 security for the internet zone is locked down tightly and you have to add sites individually to the trusted zone to allow javascript, activex etc

And there's a good point behind it: if you're going to be browsing on a server (for whatever insane reason) you don't want spyware to infect the system.

Yeah but it's a nightmare if you want to browse to a JetDirect or Printer - just displays, er, nothing. Not much help at all. I don't have time to be reconfiguring security to browse a "website" on local hardware. The best I can do is use ping :rolleyes:

Addendum to that from a copy of the HHGTTG that fell through a time vortex...

[1](revised) A bunch of mindless jerks who WERE the first against the wall when the revolution came.
