For Chinese netizens, in the future, even if they can't remember the letters, it doesn't matter anymore. By simply entering a related Chinese domain name, which is www."Chinese".com, they can reach the corresponding website. This is a new feature added to the Microsoft IE7.0 Chinese version released today.

Microsoft stated that the technology used in IE7.0 can ensure the normal use of Chinese domain names on any language version of the Microsoft operating system worldwide. Following the support for Chinese domain names in IE7.0, Microsoft will further comprehensively support "Chinese.com" at the Windows operation platform level, including the upcoming Windows Vista.

It is reported that compared to previous versions of IE, Microsoft has made significant improvements in IE7.0, not only enhancing security but also adding multi-page browsing and other functions. Currently, users of Windows XP can already use IE7.0, and it will also be bundled with the next generation of Microsoft's operating system, Vista.

Analysts said that Microsoft finally launched a new version of the browser obviously due to pressure from competitors. With the increasing importance of the Chinese market, its IE7.0 specifically provides support for "Chinese.com", precisely to consolidate its position in the Chinese market.

Although still dominant in the browser market, since its main competitor Netscape disappeared, Microsoft hasn't released a new version of IE for five years, leading many users to criticize Microsoft. Firefox and Apple took this opportunity to rise and seize a considerable share of the market.

According to data published by OneStat.com, in October this year, IE held 86% of the global browser market share, Firefox held 11.5%, while Apple Safari and Opera each had less than 2% market share.
