vishal : read the full communique. it was under NDA till 9.00 PST or 9.30 IST. after that MS expects "Action: Communicate to your customers and peer community that the IE7 update is available" so pls read the full communication b4 jumping to conclusions. and btw, its all over the nett anyways 
i believe MS wants its MVP's to work pro-actively in online/offline communities to convey such imp news.
shantanu: i am sorry if u feel that way. look at my hits. dont think i'd do THIS for a few more hits, and that too in what i consider my home forum! (India (unfortunately) stands 7th or 8th in the hits list as per my awstats. how many hits do u think i cud generate here
) everyone already knows about my site here. its impossble to write the whole article here. and i have already mentioned the download source/pages here. also, check up on the net,(AFTER RESPECTING THE NDA EMBARGO) i think wvc site was the first to break this news, and as such am entitled to mention the source. we all DO mention sources dont we, it just so happens that since i am active in this forum, (how can i forget i started with thinkdigit forum) and since winvistaclub is my site, i post simultaneously at my site as well on this forum.
nevertheless in deferrence to yr wishes, i am removing my link.

Hey I dont agree with you on this.He has not done any copy paste from other site. So, why put link of other site as news source.shantanu said:plus i am mentioning again that you should not reffer your site agian and again to get hits.. please thats a request as you are a very old member !
And I think mentioning news source comes under forum rules.
If I am wrong, I am really sorry.No fighting with moderator

its like free beariMav said:@vishal; anandk & shantanu: alls well that ends well; i hope we can all rejoice in the fact that ie 7 has become free in the true sense
its not free in terms of freedom as microst have restriced users to use their OS only. its not like other browsers FF/opera where you can choose your os platform where you want to run the broswer. be it windows,linux,freeBSD and many other

Yea it is not free but just another lame attempt to fight back against our own FF\opera.

ravi ! i think you might be thinking something wrong here,, BTW , thanks for clearing anand.. some weeks ago a user was giving links for genuine news , he was posting it to his blog and giving a short idea here like you and giving links to his site.. he was warned and then action taken by SOURABH.. you are a very senior member and i am i guess all respect you for your seniority and age..
i have mentioned it many times that whatever i do is in favour of forum.. and regarding hits, i also know that 90% of our users in india are also on Dynamic IP and many are masked so, sitting here i can project myself anywhere in the world thats not very difficult.. is it ?
well as i said before and as said by Vishal, it was just coz we were worried for you.. ,
and Ravi : its not the mod thing.. its the genuine thing.. if i am wrong then i am wrong, no shame in that to accept.. and if i am right then i am right .. isnt it ?
thanks

its true. one person in his enthusiasm posted the nda material without even reading the embargo now that was wrong and it did put him into trouble. on both occassions i posted the articles 1 min after the emargo had ended but thanx for yr concern vishal and shantanu
Well, actually since its launch, IE7 hasn't really seen a very big uptake as Microsoft would have liked to see! People have either chosen to switch to another tabbed browser or remained with IE6. The possible reason for this could have been that there were 'some' who could not pass the WGA validation. So to stop this 'leakage' globally quite possibly, Microsoft may have taken this step.
hey ^ where is "Pitcairn Islands" now, cyberboy kerala ????

So you are saying this step is to offer IE7 to people 'who could not pass the WGA validation' or people using pirated XP.

voilation of forum rules aswell considering his forum has even "Warez" links

Well, I'm using IE on Vista and it runs quiet faster than firefox and less of a memory hog. Even on my 1.6 ghz celeron, 1 gb ram laptop, ie launches for the first time after boot in about 1.5 seconds. Vista+IE works great! Firefox is also nice when it comes to features, but uses ridiculous amount of memory sometimes.Takes 6-8 seconds to start on vista for first time. Haven't used opera yet.
