IE7 and Windows updates
This was not made very obvious when I installed IE7:
OS Updates–Do not reinstall any version of Microsoft Windows in any way after you install Internet Explorer 7. Do not upgrade in place or upgrade to a new edition. The workaround is to remove Internet Explorer 7 Beta, install operating system updates, and then reinstall Internet Explorer.
(Found at IE7’s Release Notes just now.)
Hmm – of course, several updates have automatically installed themselves since then. So should I expect a blue screen of death sometime soon…?
