To upgrade to Internet Explorer 7 or not to upgrade
Published October 24th, 2006 in All Categories, Internet Explorer, Internet Explorer 7
Attention, Windows XP users! Big changes are coming to your computer, and if you’re not paying 
attention, the biggest one may come regardless of whether you want it. Last week, Microsoft made the latest version of its Web browser, Internet Explorer 7, available online. On Tuesday, the company will post to the Web its newest music and video player, Windows Media Player 11. You’ll be able to download Internet Explorer 7 at www.microsoft.com/ie and Media Player at www.microsoft.com/mediaplayer.
Even if you don’t grab IE7, it’s going to come to you.
Although Microsoft has not yet announced the date, sometime in early November IE7 will be pushed out to Windows XP users with Service Pack 2 installed via Windows Update. It may come in the regular batch of fixes on the second Tuesday of the month – known affectionately among the geekerati as Patch Tuesday – or as early as Nov. 1.
That means one day you will sit down at your computer and be presented with a choice: should you install IE7 or not? ARTICLE: To upgrade to Internet Explorer 7 or not to upgrade ( - HamptonRoads.com/PilotOnline.com)
