But I do agree that they're not actually forcing the upgrade. As you've said, and I said in another post, as long as you don't have Rollups auto-approved, you should be fine. Or, as long as you don't have your personal updates being automatically installed... I always choose Custom Install on my home machines, so I can see exactly what they're trying to push. And if IE7 is the only update, you can deselect it, and tell the system to not show it again.

It'll just show up now, and you select the "I don't want this option" It's only a problem if you have things set to auto-approve (or autodownload/install). In that case, the reg keys etc will no longer do the work for you.

But, and this has always been the great thing about IE 6-7, they ignore these compatibility errors and still give you a "good enough" viewing experience. IE8 promises to be able to pass the infamous Acid2 test, which its predecessors have never been able to do. http://www.webstandards.org/action/acid2/ But in the end, being forced to upgrade to IE7 is a good thing: Its a current product, and gets the security related attention that we all need. ~ Upgrade to Next Generation Antispam/Antivirus with Ninja! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbelt-software.com/SunbeltMessagingNinja.cfm> ~ No virus found in this incoming message.
