M$ allows pirated Windows to download IE7 but no takers...
Of course this assumes all IE6 users don't use Firefox. I never upgraded any of my systems to IE7 but I'm a Firefox user. http://news.softpedia.com/news/Windows-Pirates-Failed-to-Crowd-to-Internet-Explorer-7-69914.shtml Prior to the October update, Windows XP and Windows Server 2003 users that wanted to access IE7 had to pass two stages of genuine validation of their Windows operating system. Microsoft altered this aspect opening up the browser to all Windows pirates, and even inviting users of non-genuine versions of Windows to access IE7. But, one month later, statistics from Net Applications reveal that Windows pirates failed to jump at the chance of running IE7. Moreover, Internet Explorer 7 has in fact lost market share. IE7 dropped from a 34.60% in September to 34.32% in October. This is by no means a good sign for Microsoft. The Redmond company, that accounts for the lion's share of the browser market, is still the dominant presence through Internet Explorer 6. And to make matters worse for Microsoft, IE6 has actually gained market share jumping from 42.75% in September to 43.09%. The trajectories that both IE6 and IE7 have taken spell trouble not only for Microsoft but also for end users. IE6 is a product inferior to IE7 in terms of capabilities, functionality and features. But when it comes down to security, there simply is no con-*test*-('") between IE6 and IE7. Still, Microsoft seems to be incapable of converting users from IE6 to IE7, and statistics reveal that browser upgrades have hit a dead wall.

I don't have IE7 on anything

i use ie7 only because it's there

I refuse to use IE7.. Just seems to buggy... Have a lot of people that complain about problems that are easily solved by removing IE7 and going back to 6... If they don't use FF ;)

Firefox here also.

its kinda buggy on my system i let it install for kicks and upon reboot i get windows has recovered from a serious error, send, close multiple times. took ie 7 back out and all is well. my impression.... what a piece of crap .no wonder pirates dont want it.

what a piece of crap .no wonder pirates dont want it. Avast ye mateys, We not be wanting to board sinking ships less there be treasures to plunder. M$ has no treasure to be had, as we most all know YE swabs. Any port in a storm, thus we make berth where we find it, M$ be only good for basic shelter. For true treasures we set sale to better lands.
