Some of the security enhancements implemented in IE7 include ActiveX opt-in, a phishing filter, a fix-my-security-settings alert system, cross-domain script barriers and a delete browsing history tool (see "IE 7 beta has security improvements under the hood"). Many are also more sophisticated or have more ambitious goals than Mozilla's browser extensions.

The programs available on the new site don't appear to be any different from the ones on the old site, and many of Microsoft's add-ons - which are all supplied by third-party software companies - aren't free. The IE add-ons site appears to be a reworking of the Windows Marketplace site, which has long been linked to from the Tools menu.
Although this site wasn't yet live when I tested an advance copy of IE7 Beta 2, a Microsoft spokesperson said there would be "hundreds of free add-ons," apparently similar to extensions for the Firefox and Mozilla browsers.
Microsoft is also taking a page out of Mozilla's book by creating an Add-Ons for Internet Explorer site. So Microsoft's plan to offer toll-free support for IE7 is a departure. The per-incident charge for what Microsoft terms "business-critical after-hours support" is $490. It costs $35 per incident during business hours, whether you use e-mail, online chat, or telephone.
Support for Internet Explorer 6 is only available to Microsoft customers who have signed up for a Software Assurance (volume) license.
