That depends on if the letters IE7 are trademarked as the IPR of Microsoft. If not than they don't have a leg to stand on.

Read up on WIPO ok...

You will see why...trust me...

Unless Firefox can prove they didnt register the domain to stop Microsoft registering it then Microsoft will be handed the domain...

Also they would need to prove there was no "passing off"...

According to Paragraph 4(a) of the UDRP Policy, the UDRP Administrative Procedure is only available for disputes concerning an alleged abusive registration of a domain name; that is, which meet the following criteria:

(i) the domain name registered by the domain name registrant is identical or confusingly similar to a trademark or service mark in which the complainant (the person or entity bringing the complaint) has rights; and

(ii) the domain name registrant has no rights or legitimate interests in respect of the domain name in question; and

(iii) the domain name has been registered and is being used in bad faith

There you go....

Im assuming Microsoft have registered the IE7 as trademark however

I'm sure many would disagree with this, especially software engineer's/programmers...IE is actually rather appalling in terms of security and bugs

Does the job for me. Can't really see why I would choose one over the other now, unless we are comparing the old version of IE which doesn't support tabbed browsing which is annoying.

It's not as bad as Netscape used to be. You used to have to wait for that to load up. No wit loads up nice and quickly without a spash screen which is good... Seems to work with all the sites I go on too, though I remember when I used Netscape on my Dads computer back in the day it wouldn't work on all sites...
