It's not an update, it's an upheaval...

If you are using Windows Live One Care (and I recommend it) you may about to be auto-uploaded with the new Windows Internet Explorer 7.0. While it is a good browser and worth the change from IE6, brace yourself for the process.

First you download the new version - takes a while even with broadband. Then as per usual your computer will ask to restart.

Then - from the best I can figure - IT DOWNLOADS THE WHOLE PROGRAM AGAIN! And then you restart again!

Finally, you are up and running. Count on a half-hour wait or more.

For my money, use Mozilla Firefox 2.0. However, most of us will be happy with either.

2nd the Firefox comments, I work with MSFT every day and really stick to MSFT products. But Firefox has changed that...
