IE7 now available for auto-update

Now IE7 is available as an automatic high-priority update via Windows Update I wonder how many people will wonder what has happened to their browser.

Posing such a drastic UI change on the user in the form of an automatic update is a bad idea.

    The have to get used to it. IE6 is over 5 years old, and NEEDS to be replaced. Off course I hope people will download Firefox when they don’t like IE7 :P

    Yeah, IE6 needs replaced but I think they should have kept the user interface more familiar to the user. Firefox went out of the way to make the browser better but still made it familiar enough to IE users. IE7 has no resemblance to any other IE based browser.
