IEBlog: IE7 to be distributed via Automatic Updates!
“As we get close to the final availability of Internet Explorer 7, I want to provide an update on our distribution plans. To help our customers become more secure and up-to-date, we will distribute IE7 as a high-priority update via Automatic Updates (AU) shortly after the final version is released for Windows XP, planned for the fourth quarter of this year.”
What does this mean? Very shortly the install base for IE 7 will be GREAT! What’s the best part about it?
“If you decide to install IE7, it will preserve your current toolbars, home page, search settings, and favorites and installing will not change your choice of default browser. You will also be able to roll back to IE6 at any point by using Add/Remove Programs in the Control Panel. Finally, users who have AU turned off will not be notified.”
That’s awesome. Basically, you get the latest and greatest with no change to your current system settings. How great would it be to nix IE 6? Think about all of the CSS developers this would help. :-) Well, I know IE 7 rendering is the same as IE 6, unless in Strict mode, but at least things are on the way to being VASTLY improved.
