IE7 Released As High-Priority Update

jimbojw writes, "Internet Explorer 7 was finally released this morning and is available via automatic update or download from Microsoft." And an anonymous reader notes stats on IE7 and FF2 downloads, adding: "Looks like FF2 is already outnumbering FF 1.5, while IE7 is having a hard time to find followers. Will today's release as a high-priority, force-fed update fix this issue?" The sans.org stats site will be updated throughout the day, so perhaps we'll get an indication.

Will today's release as a high-priority, force-fed update fix this issue?

Only if Microsoft disables Windows Genuine Advantage on this update.

Uh... did you even read the article headline?

I've heard of people not reading the article or even the article summary, but at least read the headline...

Yes. People on drugs were downloading IE7 voluntarily, now Microsoft release it for real, forcing people to upgrade.

In other news, Google's market share in the web search business has plummeted, while MSN search rose to be the most used search engine.
