Re: MS are doing Windows Updates for XP to IE7

[Charles Hamby <fixer () gci net>]

It seems to me that all you need to do is set Automatic Updates to tell you when new patches are ready and then tell it
to ignore IE7 if you don't want it.

I'm more puzzled as to why they're doing this "out of cycle" instead of on "Patch Tuesday" (or "Black Tuesday", your 
choice).
