[bcab] Re: The gen on the IE7 automatic update

Jaws 7.10 is free to all Jaws 7.0 users and will work with IE7 already 
pre-dating Dolphin's retro-fit.  There are some minor key cleash problems but 
these can be resolved as and where they occur if need be.  There have actually 
been positive user positings on the Jaws-UK mail list with regard to this.

Jaws 7.10 can be downloaded from:
ftp://ftp.freedomscientific.com/users/hj/private/WebFiles/JAWS/J7.10.452U_ILM.exe

    I don't suppose it will happen but it would be good if Freedom Scientific 
produced scripts for JFW users earlier than JAWS 7 to download so that we could 
run the new version of Internet Explorer. If Dolphin can do it, surely Freedom 
Scientific can also. I can understand the need for installing a higher version 
of JAWS when Vista comes along but Internet Explorer isn't a new operating 
system, it is a key part of most people's computer use and it would be an 
indication to JAWS users that Freedom Scientific really care about their 
customers.

    Hi,

    Here is information I have gathered from speaking to MS personell regarding 
the IE7 update on Wednesday:

    1. The update is delivered through automatic updates, but you are given the 
option to install it or to stop the installation - only users in the 
administrators group will have the option of installation.

    2. If you are in a company and they use the automatic update server like I 
do at work, the update is delivered in the rollup category, which we don't 
subscribe to anyway.

    3. There is a block tool available to stop IE being downloaded if you are 
really paranoid (its basically for administrators who don't use WSUS and don't 
have control over their users) available at:

    
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=4516A6F7-5D44-482B-9DBD-869B4A90159C&displaylang=en

    I recommend that JFW users just say no to the installation screen, do not 
disable automatic updates as you wouldn't get other critical updates downloaded 
- once you say no, you won't be prompted again - you will manually download the 
update as and when a fix to JFW is available.

    FWIW here at work there are other products that don't work with IE7, 
relating to BACS/DD submissions over HTTP etc, so we won't be rolling it out 
yet.

    Andrew.
