Geek Speak » in reply to blocking IE 7 from auto-installing through the registry

Sorry, that wasn't directed at you, that was my reaction to finding out that you have to modify the A#$&((*&ing registry to block autoinstallation. That's just beyond the pale, and make Microsoft no better than a virus purveyor forcing their software on to people's computers. That is just plain wrong. Damn!
