Re: IE7 and next IE update divorced from Windows
Well this forces everyone to go to SP2, I refuse to install a service pack that makes my online experience run slower.
What I think is happening is that Firefox is cutting into their market share and to wait for Longhorn for a new browser would be suicide.
I'm loving every minute of this 
Re: IE7 and next IE update divorced from Windows
form the news clip..
Firefox, a free Web browser developed by a network of software programmers, has given Internet Explorer competition for the first time since Microsoft overtook the Netscape Navigator in the late 1990s to become the dominate way computer users view the World Wide Web.
God wisely designed the human body so that we can neither pat our own backs nor kick ourselves too easily

Cool, a patch, I still wouldn't go to SP2. I'm happy with SP1, no updates, but I don't use IE or OE.

Don't go an get all excited. The word is it will be not much more than a security fix anyway and will continue to use the IE6 rendering engine.
Re: IE7 and next IE update divorced from Windows
And honestly you're silly if you don't update to SP2. it's a lot more stable than when it first came out, and has better wireless networking controls. There have been a few patches and fixes that have stabilized it.
The new added security features are great for the noobs, and can easily be turned off for the advanced users.
