Internet Explore 7 - YahooMicrosoft will release the final build of IE7 today to customers.
The company is expected to push the build onto automatic updates on 1st November.
At the moment there is no link on Microsoft.com but Yahoo has the final build bundled with Yahoo mail. All you need to do is download the Yahoo edition and use WinRAR to extract the files and run IE7-Setup.exe
MS has already distributed this to customers...
SourceHi Folks,
The final release of Internet Explorer 7 should be available today and will be delivered to customers via Automatic Updates starting November 1st. Prior to deployment of IE 7, we strongly recommend that you test your Web sites, extensions, and applications to make sure they are ready. Microsoft recommends that Web sites and applications are ready for the release of Internet Explorer 7 this month.
Internet Explorer 7 is highly compatible with the Web sites, extensions, and applications out there today and we have made significant improvements in security, rendering, and usability. However, some of these improvements and new features may cause some sites to not render properly or change how the user interacts with your site, extension or application.
Help ensure your Web sites, extensions, and applications are compatible with Internet Explorer 7 by testing Internet Explorer 7 and utilizing the following resources and tools to help you identify and resolve any compatibility issues:
Install the latest build of Internet Explorer 7
*www.microsoft.com/windows/ie
Prepare your organization using the Internet Explorer 7 Readiness Toolkit
*go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=64421
Ensure browser-based applications are compatible by using Application Compatibility Toolkit 5.0
*www.microsoft.com/technet/windowsvi...mpat/tools.mspx
Prepare for Internet Explorer 7 to be delivered via Automatic Updates and Windows Update
*www.microsoft.com/technet/updateman...nouncement.mspx
If needed, install the Internet Explorer 7 Blocker Toolkit to block automatic delivery
*go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=65788
Use the following additional resources to investigate and resolve compatibility issues:
Visit MSDN (msdn.microsoft.com/ie) for supporting information
Visit the IE team blog (*blogs.msdn.com/ie/) to research, make inquiries, and provide feedback
Microsoft recommends that enterprises are prepared for automatic delivery by November 1st
We encourage you to prepare for the release of Internet Explorer 7. If you have feedback, please use the IE team blog or the Provide Feedback link in the Readiness Toolkit.
Keep in mind that for customers that are using WSUS, you will be able to prevent deployment of IE 7 until you have fully completed your testing. For customers that may not be using WSUS, a Blocker Toolkit is available which can also be used to prevent clients from receiving this update.
