IE7 Automatic Updates - Here?

I just got prompted by Windows automatic updates to install IE7. Could they be here already?

I don't see anything prompting me...I always thought it's on Tuesdays...

Maybe they're only updating LEGAL copies? :^)

I don't either. I am using Windows 2003 Server though.

To get all of these downloaded and updated is going to take a lot of bandwidth. Somebody on the blog thread seem to think it would keep them at full stretch for months. I suspect that they won't be limiting themselves to a particular slot on Tuesday night.

That must be right. What were you running previously?

It's only 14.8Mb? That must be the smallest piece of software MS has released in donkey's years!

I agree but compared with you average patch it is still pretty big, I think.

Microsoft do not usually release Software by Automatic Updates. They are generally not big on freebies.

I think this can only be being released to those with Beta Versions of IE 7.0. The deadline for putting the block in place for IE6 users has not yet been reached.

Ah. 14.8Mb for the patch file for RC1 -> Gold makes more sense.

No that is for the full installation but still twice the size of Firefox. Don't forget though that is the compressed uninstalled state.

I just got prompted via auto updates to load IE7. It did check for a registered version of windows, mine installed. I was hoping that it would skip that part, oh well.
