[...] Microsoft will be releasing the long-overdue Internet Explorer 7 any day now (possibly as soon as Wednesday, if rumors prove correct). It will only be available for Windows XP SP2, Windows Server 2003, and the upcoming Windows Vista. [...]

Hmm…no mention of the October 18th date any more in that article. Does still say:

Microsoft recommends that enterprises are prepared for automatic delivery by November 1st

[...] IE7 Release Date Revealed: October 18th Didn’t really know where to post this but thought you all would like to know this. According to one of Microsoft’s bloggers the release date for Internet Explorer 7 appears to be October 18th. For those of you grabbing for your calendar I’ll let you know that it is next Wednesday…a day after Mozilla plans on shipping Firefox 2 RC3. The new IE7 will then be delivered via Automatic Updates starting on November 1, which is exactly two-weeks after the official release. They recommend that users test their site to ensure that it is compatible with IE7 by downloading the RC1 that was made available a few months back. If you are still skeptical about installing it or plan on never using it then you may want to use the IE7 Automatic Delivery Blocker that Microsoft provides. I do have to admit that I am glad to see Internet Explorer getting tabs simply because I don’t have easy access to Firefox wherever I go. I have it installed on my USB drive but sometimes I don’t feel like pulling it out and waiting for Windows to install the necessary drivers that are needed to use it. At least now I will have a decent tabbed browser available, of course, that is assuming that the places I usually visit don’t block the automatic installation. SOURCE [...]

Hi there,

If you are carrying around a USB drive already, you should explore using portable software. For example, Portable Firefox sounds like it would fit your needs perfectly – all the joy of Firefox in one convinient package. Try portableapps.com

I do actually use Portable Firefox which I stated in the article but sometimes I don’t want to pull out my USB drive just to load it.

I guess if you didn’t want it then it is still okay that you’re using SP1. Too bad you went through all of that work just to block it when you didn’t need to.
