Looks like the IE7 team don't mind a bit of competition - http://fredericiana.com/2006/10/24/from-redmond-with-love/

New release seems great. Just one annoying thing though (possibly changeable through options) is that it kinda ignores the XSLT style sheet when viewing RSS feeds in the browser, ConfusedUnhappy

No, it wont do an incremental update, you'll have to download the full package. That will update your current setup.
Handyman man?

ISTRC that they've done this before for one of their major releases - 1.0 or 1.5 - posted it but didn't enable it for auto-update for a while.

A lot of people are set up to check for updates whenever the browser starts - they could have had a million downloads in the first 5 minutes.

Lead me not into temptation... I know the short cut, follow me.

Really, thats really very poor, you would think that when you went Help > Check for Updates it offer a link to the download site.

At the mo they (as Dypers said) don't want their servers overloaded as every single copy of Firefox in existence went into automatic update lol
