IE8 Beta: Trustworthy Browsing

IE8 Team is about to post some articles about the end-user experience improvements that are going to be available in Internet Explorer 8. The first of those posts is about some basic definitions:

• Security is often where the trust discussion begins. Narrowly, security in this context means “as the user browses the web, the only code that runs on the user’s machine is code that the user allows to run".
• Reliability is relatively simple: the browser should always start, find the Internet, and show web sites without crashing.
• Business practices guide decisions we make in designing and distributing our products. The key principle here is respecting user choice. For example, when a user installs a new version of IE, IE respects the user’s choice of default search engine
