The day when Microsoft let you make the decisions about what gets installed on your computer have come and gone. If you run Windows, get used to it. Microsoft owns your PC. They honestly believe they own the whole industry.

That's really not true, simply have Windows Update inform you after downloading any patches, before the are installed.
IE7 is on Windows Update as a priority update so if you have auto turned on, here it comes.


Petronski:
Are you aware on any IE7 problems, MS makes bloatware, but with a 90%+ share of the OS market, seems like most folks have drunk the kool aid.

The day when Microsoft let you make the decisions about what gets installed on your computer have come and gone.

How many PCs do you have running Windows? And how long have you been a Windows user?

I have never had anything MS foisted on me without my express knowledge or consent.
I'm not saying your sentiment is incorrect, just the statement that MS has taken the decision making process out of the user's hands.
