Better known as Microsoft Internet Explorer or simply IE, it is nothing but a series of web browsers supported by high graphic content. It is included in the line up of applications in the operating systems of Microsoft Windows itself. The popularity of this browser is more than evident by the fact that ever since 1999, it has been the most widely used web browser. The latest version offered as you all might have known is the Internet Explorer 7. So what exactly is this www.internetexplorer.com…why do I ask this? Well, just enter this URL in the address bar and see what you get. All you’ll find is a weird (literally) web page offering you the download of Internet Explorer 7 and some free anti virus softwares. But hey, is that the actual Internet Explorer homepage, I’m afraid not…….

You will find the Internet Explorer homepage in no other site but in Microsoft’s official web site. http://www.microsoft.com/windows/products/winfamily/ie/default.mspx is the direct link to the Internet Explorer home page. As soon as you open the page, you get the classic Windows feel and why shouldn’t you, it is the Microsoft web site after all. The page introduces you to the Internet Explorer version 7 and explains its features and the benefits of using it thereof. The version 7 is a free download directly offered by Microsoft web site. Microsoft promises that the Internet Explorer 7 is the best against viruses which normally would do harm to the older version and eventually to your computer.

The web site also offers a technical support in case the user faces any problem with the browser during use, anytime in the future. Apart from the technical support, there is a forum where users can discuss their problems with others about any topic that draws attention, which may not necessarily relate to Internet Explorer. Any software or even game related topic can have its place in this forum. So there you have it, Microsoft’s very own Internet Explorer.
