I was having an email exchange today with a Japanese friend who sent it from her (Japanese) hotmail account. This was her footer:

_________________________________________________________________
ウェブページを印刷しても途切れない!便利なブラウザ MSN版IE7 を使おう http://promotion.msn.co.jp/ie7/


Which reads: "Print out your webpages without interruption! Use the handy MSN version of the IE7 brower." It's at the footer of every piece of hotmail I think.

Sure it isn't auto-update but it's one route to get IE7 downloaded. Hotmail I think is still reasonably big in Japan. Olney, any word on whether auto-update has started yet?

My coworker is using a Japanese PC & his IE is still at version 6.
Also Yahoo is promoting IE7 on their homepage
I haven't seen it advertised in Mixi yet but I assume it will be at some point.
