David - so far, I have been able to say "no" to installing IE7 when installing updates, but my ISP in an email says that from Feb12, Windows updates will force the installation of IE7; I mean, can they really do this to users without consent? - Andy ----- Original Message ----- From: "David Bailes" <david_bailes@xxxxxxxxxxx> To: <access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Monday, February 04, 2008 1:33 PM Subject: [access-uk] Re: IE7 | Hi Andy, | | This is a quote from the Microsoft web page given | below: | 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. | | Plus, if you accidentally install it, you can always | uninstall it. | | Source of info: | http://www.microsoft.com/windows/products/winfamily/ie/automaticupdates.mspx | | David Bailes. | | ------------------- | original message: | | | Hi all - | | Just heard about this today. | | On the 12th February Microsoft will force all | automatic Windows updates to | download Internet Explorer 7 and overwrite version 6. | | I wonder as I am still using JFW6.2, if I'll be able | to prevent updates from | doing this, because I Understand that I need JFW 7 or | above to work with | IE7 - | | Andy | | | ___________________________________________________________ | Support the World Aids Awareness campaign this month with Yahoo!
