Re: IE7 is ready for mass market....

<snip>
I guess that's the nice thing about having a monopoly on the operating 
system market -- you can use it to force people to use your latest 
software, then incorporate spyware into that software, and it's all just

fine and dandy because you're Microsoft.

I take it more as a case of danged if you do and danged if you don't.
The reason they are forcing it out is because of the security
improvements (yes, marking it as "critical" is likely overstating it's
importance, IMHO). My only quibble with what they are doing is that I
can't have both IE6 and IE7 on the same system.
