IE 7 via Automatic Updates

Posted Jul 26th 2006 1:19PM by Amber Rhea

According to a post on IEBlog, IE 7 will be distributed via WIndows Automatic Updates.

I'm confused now, because in the interview with Chris Wilson that I linked to yesterday, Chris seemed to definitely say that Microsoft won't go that route in distributing updates. Or maybe when he said "pushing it out" he was referring to something other than Automatic Updates...?

Hmmm...

1. Microsoft would be stupid not to take this route.

2. They sure as hell better make it automatic.

3. The only thing Chris Wilson said that was blatantly contradicted is that they wouldn't use Automatic Updates. They will use AU in addition to Windows Updates (the website), but everything else jibes. It won't be a silent install. There will be choice and it can even (supposedly) be uninstalled. I reckon that it was a change that was in-the-pipes before the interview but became official shortly thereafter. So, no harm done.
