Streamlined Installation of Internet Explorer 7 Now Available, Bypasses WGA

- Rob Bushway

Microsoft has just released a new installation build of Internet Explorer 7. This updated installation build of IE 7 will install without WGA validation.

This is not a new version of the browser, rather Microsoft is enhancing and streamlining the installation experience, and also making it available to all Windows users by bypassing WGA ( IE 7 Requirements ). This is a good move in the area of security.

There are couple of installation changes consumers will notice. First, the menu bar is now turned on by default. In addition, for first time users, the first-run experience includes a new, easily accessible IE 7 overview.

Hmmm... why are they advertising as available for all Windows users when the download options seem limited to XP and Server 2003? Are the 2000 and older users no longer consider Windows users?

probably some marketing misspeak on their behalf.

XP SP 2 or Windows Server 2003 are required:
