Doesn't change the fact that several hundred million unclued users are
likely to wonder what happened to their IE6. ;) It's going to download automatically, not install automatically. From http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/ie7/automaticupdates/default.mspx: "Automatic Updates will first notify you when Internet Explorer 7 is ready to install and then show a welcome screen that presents key features and the choice to accept, decline or postpone installation (see example screen shots below). Upgrading will preserve your current home page, search settings, favorites, and compatible toolbars and will not change your default browser. You will be able to roll back to Internet Explorer 6 at any point by using the Add/Remove Programs utility in the Windows Control Panel. (To learn more about Automatic Updates please visit the Microsoft Security site.)"
