A New Offer From Microsoft:

[Guest Reimar]

Microsoft offers the download of Internet Explorer 7 without WGA check to every body!

Read was MS has to tell:

From the Internet Explorer Team Blog: Almost a year ago, we released Internet Explorer 7 for Windows XP. Since then, IE7 is well on its way to becoming the most used browser in the world, and we’ve seen lots of evidence that IE7 makes it safer and easier to accomplish everyday tasks online.

For example, the built-in Phishing Filter has protected consumers from known phishing web sites an average of 900,000 times per week. IE7 is the first – and still the only – browser with native support for Extended Validation SSL Certificates that help prevent online fraud. (Of course, tabbed browsing, QuickTabs, shrink-to-fit printing, an easily customizable search box, CSS improvements, and some add-ons are all good things too.)

Because Microsoft takes its commitment to help protect the entire Windows ecosystem seriously, we’re updating the IE7 installation experience to make it available as broadly as possible to all Windows users. With today’s “Installation and Availability Update,” Internet Explorer 7 installation will no longer require Windows Genuine Advantage validation and will be available to all Windows XP users. If you are not already running IE7, you can get it now from the Internet Explorer home page on Microsoft.com, get a customized version from a third-party site, or, if you haven’t already received it via Automatic Updates, this version will be delivered to you as we described previously. If you are already running IE7, you will not be offered IE7 again by Automatic Updates.

Additionally, we’ve made minor changes to IE7 for Windows XP based on customer feedback ->

* The menu bar is now visible by default.

* The Internet Explorer 7 online tour has updated how-to’s. Also, the “first-run” experience includes a new overview.

* We’ve included a new MSI installer that simplifies deployment for IT administrators in enterprises. Learn more about it here.

Internet Explorer 7 has been designed to make everyday tasks easier, provide dynamic security protection and improve the development platform and manageability. End user improvements include a streamlined interface, tabbed browsing, printing advances, improved search functionality, instant feeds (RSS), dynamic security protection, and more.

Thanks “Reimar“ for the reminder to upgrade to IE7

I seem to be getting a lot of “cannot display webpage” recently, would this be something with the upgrade or just coincidence with servers?

A while ago I came across a plug-in or add-on that let you search Torrents from IE7 as I had IE6 at the time I didn’t bother about it but now that I can use it of course I cant find it – Murphy at work again!

Any idea where I can locate such an add-on?

Thanks
