MSN Explorer

I like Microsoft but have a bit of criticism on Internet Explorer.
MSN Explorer 7.02 (which is the last free version of MSN Explorer) loads
pages faster than Internet Explorer, on which is based. However it has some
drawbacks, which can be easily solved:

*It should be free again.
*It should be included in future Windows OS releases as the default browser.
*It should become a standalone browser (now it runs 'over' IE), while
continuing to be based on it.
*A pop-up blocker should be added.
*A phishing filter should be added.
*Tabbed browsing should be included.
*Should have a function to switch between Standard and Advanced mode. The
Standard mode will be default mode, it won't require users to sign in with
their Hotmail account, but it will be available for use by anyone. Also the
E-mail links for Hotmail shouldn't be available. The Advanced mode should
include Hotmail integration the same way MSN Explorer includes it now. The
switch between Standard and Advanced modes should be easy to do from the
browser menu.
*Skins should be introduced.

I think IE, the 'veteran' browser should retire for good, and MSN Explorer
(this time for free and by default) should replace it. It even may not be
called MSN Explorer, but Windows Live Explorer, or something like that,
because many MSN services now are branded as Windows Live.
