Internet Explorer Drops WGA Requirement

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the while-the-getting-is-good dept.

Kelson writes "The Internet Explorer team has updated the installer for IE7. Mostly they've adjusted a few defaults and updated their tutorials, but one change stands out: The installer no longer requires Windows Genuine Advantage validation. Almost a year after its release, IE7 has yet to overtake its predecessor. Was WGA holding back a tide of potential upgrades, or did it just send people over to alternative browsers?"

    Why are we still getting these spam posts that go to the error page where a picture that some might consider to be offensive used to be hosted?

    I could understand spam posts going to a shock picture, but not an error message.
