My Acer Aspire Laptop is running a german version of Windows XP Home and has auto-update fetch enabled. Today, the updater service automatically installed Internet Explorer 7 onto my machine.

I had to click through a few pages and a genuine copy verification – after that, the following installation screen popped up:
setupt Internet Explorer 7 hits german Windows XP boxen

As it looks, IE6 market share should droop significantly very soon. I wonder what my Windows 2000 workstation will do in the evening tonight btw!

  1. Drop what? With half the population having pirated copy will we EVER get rid of *that* called IE6?

  2. Hi,
    IMHO, one day theyll give IE7 to pirated users, too. The problem that they have is simple…they permanentely make the news with security problems. This is bad for the PR – so they IMHO will cave in in a few weeks.

    Best regards
