The Internet Explorer blog recently announced, IE7 will be released sometime this month. Mozilla still plans on releasing Firefox 2.0 on October 24th. A minor detail though, while IE7 will be ‘released’ later this month those who are subscribe to the Windows Updates likely won’t see an update offer until sometime in November. The October release will be for people who download and install the application directly from Microsoft’s website.
Firefox 2.0, should be accessible via automatic update shortly after its release. See CyberNet News >> Internet Explorer 7 Release About The Same As Firefox 2 for more details Blogged with Flock |

I am sure folks are going to jump on the IE7 bandwagon and download it as soon as it comes out. This will give them a couple weeks to play (and get frustrated, irritated, tired, etc) with IE7. […]
