What became of the idea of pushing the new version to everyone's computers via a windows update?
also, check out the "IE makes your life easier..." video they have on the microsoft website. absolutely horrible!
Testing it ... Using x64 2003 Server here and had a IE7RC before ... It took 3 (yes, three) restarts to have it finally installed ... I mean, it is a server, for web's sake... I dont know what they implemented inside to require so many restarts, but it does not justify it.
I am glad, that it is just a development PC, but i would never do such thing to any working server...
I am very curious finally to test the final release... I hope it will be a bit more stable and secure then the original IE6 was. =O)
Talking about IE7 security ... Check this Secunia advisory
http://secunia.com/advisories/22477/
I know it was allready in IE6, but i thought that the security was the main focus of IE developers ... =O)
Microsoft is planning on including IE7 as a critical Windows update in a few weeks. But they are going to prompt users to install it once downloaded, it won't be automatic.
Well that explains it Dan, thanks!
yay! now i finally get to create stylesheets for 5 browsers!! (IE 5/5.5, IE6, IE7, IE5 mac, standards compliant browsers). god i hate microsoft, what a bunch of useless monkeys.
"Beginning in November 2007, users of Windows XP SP2 will automatically receive a Windows Update notice that Internet Explorer 7 is available."
From the cnet.com review. Im guessing they meant 2006?
