sjdurfey writes "Microsoft recently decided to open up IE7 to all users of Windows, not just the ones with legitimate copies of Windows. They claim it is in the 'end-users best interest'. As a result, Microsoft has decided to mark IE7 as a 'High-priority' update. This is essentially a forced update. Granted, its only a forced update if you are running Windows and have windows update set to automatically install all updates, but nevertheless, it's unnecessary. You can however uninstall IE7 from the Add/Remove Programs menu after its been installed. 'A blocking tool kit is still available for companies and organizations that don't use Windows Server Update Services and want to permanently prevent IE7 from automatically installing on PCs equipped with IE6.'"

Talkupation: swiftmed will become famous soon enoughswiftmed will become famous soon enough
yeh they have done this because they cant give it away any more. its crap, has too many bugs, and needs major investment....in my opinion of course!

the sooner everybody switches to firefox, the better, but i dont think firefox will ever be a more popular browser than i.e simply because i.e is shipped with windows....firefox isnt!
