A pretty cool
rerelease for IE7 came out today, called the IE7 Installation and Availability update (IAU).
Installation and Availability Modifications to Internet Explorer 7 (IE7) include:
1. Expanded availability to Windows PC users - removed WGA validation requirement
2. The Menu bar will be turned on by default
3. For first time users, the first-run experience includes a new, easily accessible overview
4. For all users, the online Internet Explorer 7 tour has been updated to include how-to’s on great new features like tabbed browsing.
5. Microsoft has also included a new MSI installer for enterprises that simplifies deployment for customers. IT Administrators can tailor to their organization’s needs by using the Internet Explorer Administration Kit (IEAK) and deploy the package to relevant units within their organization using e.g. Group Policies or Systems Management Server (SMS).
I've bolded the feature I am most excited about. It is great to see that functionality, finally.
