    Default IE7 Question

    Are Windows users being forced to upgrade to IE 7 yet, or is it one of those optional things that only nutters are installing?

    It's currently Beta 2.

    It will be foisted upon the unsuspecting public when it goes final as an urgent secutiy update.

    There is an administrators tool that blocks the download (for corporates and the like).

    I tried installing B1 and B2 and both times it killed my connectivity - had to uninstall both times to get back online.

    blacknight: yeah, nutters who like to play about with CSS and stuff -like me, and scammers, spammers, and malware monkeys looking for new ways to make your pockets lighter.

    IE7 is a bit of a mess to be honest.

    I suppose we'll end up downloading it when we're forced to.. though it will probably break AIB business banking completely knowing my luck

    *sigh*
