IE7 as a ‘high priority’ update

by Khaled on August 1st, 2006

It seems that Internet Explorer 7 (IE7) will be automatically sent to the Windows XP users as a high priority update, this will probably cause a huge switching from IE6 to IE7 and this could happen fast making the number of IE6 drop significantly! well this could cause some issues to those who are not testing their sites on IE7 and are not making their site look correctly there!
get prepared!
