Internet Explorer 7 Update

Just Hot off the press !!  Almost a year ago, we released
Internet Explorer 7 for Windows XP. Since then, IE7 is well on its way
to becoming the most used browser in the world, and we’ve seen lots of
evidence that IE7 makes it safer and easier to accomplish everyday
tasks online. For example, the built-in Phishing Filter has protected
consumers from known phishing web sites an average of 900,000 times per
week.  IE7 is the first – and still the only – browser with native
support for Extended Validation SSL Certificates that help prevent online fraud. (Of course, tabbed browsing, QuickTabs, shrink-to-fit printing, an easily customizable search box, CSS improvements, and some add-ons are all good things too.)
Because Microsoft takes its commitment to help protect the
entire Windows ecosystem seriously, we’re updating the IE7 installation
experience to make it available as broadly as possible to all Windows
users. With today’s “Installation and Availability Update,� Internet
Explorer 7 installation will no longer require Windows Genuine
Advantage validation and will be available to all Windows XP users.  If
you are not already running IE7, you can get it now from the Internet Explorer home page on Microsoft.com, get a customized version from a third-party site, or, if you haven’t already received it via Automatic Updates,
this version will be delivered to you as we described previously. If
you are already running IE7, you will not be offered IE7 again by
Automatic Updates. Additionally, we’ve made minor changes to IE7 for Windows XP based on customer feedback:
The menu bar is now visible by default.
The Internet Explorer 7 online tour has updated how-to’s. Also, the “first-run� experience includes a new overview.
We’ve included a new MSI installer that simplifies deployment for IT administrators in enterprises. Learn more about it here.
