Tim Bray, The Door Is Ajar: There won’t be an Internet Explorer 7; if you want a better browser, you’ll have to pay for the next release of Windows, which is scheduled for release in 2005, and most corporate desktops won’t get there for a couple of years after that. […] Do you think Longhorn’s browsing capability is going to be “just a browser,” a relatively transparent portal to the Net, a neutral text/pictures/hyperlinks conduit? They tell us that Google will still run; but how many invitations to use MSN search will you have to fight through to get to it? […] I think that if we are so foolish as to sit here for the next three to five years waiting for the Longhorn Browsing Experience, we’ll really regret it; but we’ll deserve what we get.
