Microsoft announced Friday it has hit the 100 million installation milestone for Internet Explorer 7, a figure that makes the new browser the second most used behind IE6. #
IE7 has been pushed out to many unsuspecting Windows users as part of the regular Windows Update cycle for quite some time now. Many Windows XP users have set the Update to happen automatically and seldom do they check to see what update is being installed when they are prompted. So Microsoft can hardly take pride in this milestone. A software that people must specifically find, download and install is worth counting as opposed to something that is essentially pushed to you, whether you want it or not.
