Microsoft和Mozilla Foundation正在下一代浏览器市场上继续较劲，Mozilla已经公布了Firefox 3(code-named "Gran Paradiso")的开发计划，并且已经连出两个Alpha版本，看上去对IE威胁很大，预计该版本将在2007年第三或第四季度发布。而另一方面，微软的开发进程紧锣密鼓，微软在CES上透露，他们已经开始IE8的策划编写工作，在18-24个月内我们将看到新版发布，而且中途并没有service pack的开发计划，直接跳转到下一个版本。



但又一个消息是在Microsoft Mix'07会议之前不会看到关于IE8的任何内容。

　　Mozilla Foundation "必须做到的"功能列表(Firefox 3):

　　• Improved interaction with add-ons,in terms of installation,configuration and management

　　• Support for extensible bookmarks,bookmarks and history annotation.

　　• Support for Web services so they can act as content handlers

　　• Better Web printing support

　　• An MSI installer for Windows systems

　　• Built-in support for Microsoft's CardSpace,as well as OpenID

　　• Replacement of TalkBack with Airbag,the Google-backed open-source crash reporting tool

　　IE team声称需要做到的(大部分集中在兼容性和CSS上):

　　• "Locking" a page to prevent users from accidentally navigating away from it

　　• Adding a "Find on Page" capability

　　• Improving username/password management

　　• Restoring the "Image Toolbar" provided in earlier IE 7 test builds

　　• Changing the download mechanism,perhaps eliminating the initial download to the "temporary Internet files" folder

　　• Adding easily editable config files (similar to Firefox's userChrome。css and UserContent。css)

　　• Enabling draggable tabs from one IE window to another

　　• Configuring tabs so that each has its own private cookie cache

　　• Introducing new status bar info,possibly with fields such as "last accessed by user" and "window last updated"

　　• Enabling add-ons,such as stocks,movies,etc. a la Firefox

　　可以预料，双方的恶战不可避免。也许微软的IE7与FireFox的争斗从功能上仍然不占上风，也许微软会给我们带来又一让人耳目一新的概念呢？
