|  | | Internet Explorer 7 is Now Available to Pirates! | 
Ahoy! Today we have some good news for all the Windows Pirates out there. It seems that Microsoft has updated Internet Explorer 7 and removed its Windows Genuine Advantage validation check. Therefore, pirates can now install Internet Explorer 7 without a crack. The reason for this move is to protect legitimate Windows users by reducing possible virus-spreaders (Pirates without updates for example). Quote:
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.
Thanks,

| | | | 6 Comments | | | imm sure that only the disabled pirates or ppl who decided they didnt want to update anyways are still not using IE7 so who needs morons with those kind of pirates... | | | | Pirates have no trouble getting IE7 whether the retards at microshaft decide to allow it or not. See they're losing market share to firefox so now they've cooked up a cauldron of FUD and re-released that poor excuse for a browser of their's. | | | | Even if they paid me i still wouldnt use ie | | | | firefox taking the market? | | | | well acording to figures ive seen ie still owns in the neighborhood of 78% but thats only because it comes standard on windows and 90% of people dont even know that there are other browsers let alone consider that ie is not good and they should switch | | | | Quote:

78% i also think is the amount of people who don`t know much more than what the power button does!!
