IE7 To Ship With Windows Patches Tomorrow

neowin.net 사이트에 IE7 관련 기사가 포스팅 되었습니다. 12일에 중요업데이트 형식으로 IE7을 발표 한다는 내용입니다.....사용자가 에전처럼 별도로 다운받아 설치 할수있는 방식이아니기에(물론 선택가능할수는 있으나) 논란이 예상됩니다.

Microsoft plans to push out Internet Explorer 7 as a 'high priority update' when it ships security patches tomorrow, according to Washingtonpost.com's Security Fix blog. That means anyone who has Windows configured to download and install patches automagically from Redmond will be greeted with IE7 next time they boot up their machines. In related news, it appears IE's worldwide market share actually increased a couple of points since July, despite a number of high profile zero-day attacks this year.

The article notes that the IE7 "containment wall" protected mode will not be available on XP, but only to those who purchase Vista.

A Microsoft spokesperson declined to say whether IE7 would be released tomorrow, saying only that it would be released sometime this month.

Update from the IEBlog team: "We wanted to give you guys one last chat session before we ship IE. So if you can, you should join us for the chat this Thursday, October 12th at 10.00AM PDT (5.00GMT) otherwise you can catch all the action in the transcript." - Hmm thats after patch tuesday! - Steven Parker
