    I believe he's referring to a year and a half since IE7's development was announced. According to wikipedia, that's about accurate.

    You'll be glad to know it's possible to block the automatic update to IE7.

    Since MS fixed the "* html" hack and a few others yet forgot to fix the rest of CSS they shit on, we're going to have fun with this one...

    I know that this sounds like a troll, and you can mod it that way if you want, but it did really happen.

    I already had RC2 installed on it. I downloaded the exe linked from the article and ran it.

    It uninstalled the old IE, rebooted, worked on installing for about five minutes, then rebooted.

    After that, it would get to the desktop without the menu bar at the bottom and show errors:

    lsass.exe
    The application failed to initialize properly. (0xc0000005) Click OK to terminate the application.

    It had the same error for services.exe, and show them both twice.

    After that, it does nothing.

    This is just a warning for people. It screwed up mine, I assumed it was screwing up others, too.
