Vista FAQ 4. How will IE 7 in Vista differ from IE 7 in XP?

0

A. The big difference will be Protected Mode in Vista, a smart security move that will run IE 7 in the new OS with reduced user privileges. If (or more realistically, when) hackers break through IE, they’ll have less power to alter your computer than they have in XP. It won’t be as easy for them to drop a virus in Windows system folders, for instance. You can get much the same type of setup today for almost any program in XP via a little-known Microsoft download called DropMyRights.
