I just noticed a strange cookie sharing behavior in IE where the cookies are
shared across all browser process on IE version 7.0.5730.13.. (simiar to how
Mozilla behaves)

whereas the behavior is different on IE version 7.0.6000 and cookies are
shared within the same browser process only, as expected and is the case for
all other versions i beliebe

I wonder if its a bug, in IE that particular, whatever it is, it seems like
the behavior is not consistent in all IE 7 versions..

Has anyone else noticed a similar scenario, any comments

Just one of the many enhanced security defaults in Vista (v7.0.6000) when
compared to WinXP (v7.0.5730.13).

So u are saying, this behavior (where the session cookies are shared just
within one browser process only) is a new feature in vista (v7.0.6000) ?
because to my knowledge/understanding this was the default behavior on even
earlier versions too, isnt that so? except for the specific version
7.0.5730.13 which did surprise me and i thought it is a bug in that
particular version ?
