Also today is the last day for support for XP SP1 -- i.e. this is the last set of patches for XP SP1.
Ah, that's why they put SP2 on my laptop last month. Figures. I wouldn't have minded so much except I was running a modified explorer.exe and, well, it "booted funny" after the update. |

Be careful downloading November's updates if you don't want IE7, if you use the default installation it tries to download and install it.

Is this happening for real now? There was an earlier 'scare' about 2 weeks ago at work about the forced install of IE7, but its not occured yet.

I should get back to nature, too. You know, like going to a shop for groceries instead of the computer. Maybe a condo in the woods that doesn't even have a health club or restaurant attached. Buy a car with only two cup holders or something. -Signe

Microsoft made available a tool to corporate environments to disable the IE 7 automatic update but yes they are now pushing out IE 7 on AU. |

How about a roll back to IE6 on particular workstations? I have an accounting supervisor who's gonna shit a brick tomorrow if IE7 is installed, since her earlier version of Quickbooks won't work with IE7.

The beta versions of IE 7 were uninstallable but I don't know if the release version is. The tradition is to *not* let you revert back to an earlier version (e.g. if you upgraded from 5.5 to 6.0 you couldn't go back to 5.5 without reinstalling a version of Windows with 5.5 on it) but IE 7 is such a big change they may have decided in their infinite wisdom to let you revert back to 6.0. |

IE7 shows as "Remove" under add/remove programs. Unsure if that'll revert or outright remove your browser, although the latter seems unlikely.

The beta version of IE 7 would revert you back to your previous version of IE if you uninstalled IE 7 so if the release version also shows up in Add/Remove Programs then it should do the same thing.
