Oh the Horror!
October 31, 2006
I just found out from the IntelliAdmin blog that Microsoft is going to automatically install IE7 on November 1! It is going to auto install as an automatic update. I upgraded to IE7 and I just don’t like it. The layout was just counterintuitive and just blech. It’s basically Microsoft trying to catchup to the much superior FireFox.
Now, if you don’t want to upgrade to IE7, Microsoft has a toolkit available to disable the automatic update. The fellas over at the IntelliAdmin blog also put together a utility to block the installation as well.
Another thing about IE7, it only runs on computers running WinXP or Windows 2003 server. So, if you are running Windows 2000 or any other earlier version, you don’t have to worry about this crap being installed on your machine. However, IE7 is going to the the installed browser that comes with Windows Vista systems whenever that is released.
