Re: IE7 is ready for mass market....

Yep, and the masses allowed it when they went with the consumer based
product (MickySoft) [Blinky lights and it does everything for me!!!
{yeah right} vs the Business Based OS (OS/2) and/or Mac.

Yeah, I noticed the same thing about 2 weeks ago, Windows Update will
by 
default install it as a "critical update", which I thought was 
interesting.

I tried running it, and it recommended that every web site I visit be
sent 
to Microsoft, so they could determine whether it's phishing or not, and

warn me if it is.

Lovely opportunity for Microsoft to be sent info about every single
link 
anyone follows!  Think of all of the market research they can do with
this 
information!

I guess that's the nice thing about having a monopoly on the operating

system market -- you can use it to force people to use your latest 
software, then incorporate spyware into that software, and it's all
just 
fine and dandy because you're Microsoft.
