Re: XP SP3 due next Monday per Channelweb source
said by Ctrl Alt Del  :Windows XP SP3 will not install WMP11 or IE7. Microsoft themselves verify this... That piece of news ought to keep the cry babies happy, maybe. Personally I prefer they include all the updates to XP as shipped but I'll be happy just to get SP3.

IE7 is much leaner than IE6 actually, as Microsoft made IE more componentized and less integrated into the OS for security reasons. Similar with WMP, but for antitrust reasons with the EU.
Also, I like having the most secure version of IE and WMP too.

I can't let WMP11 install or it will kill my ability to upgrade my MP3 player's software. |
