Microsoft to make IE7 an auto update

It seems that Microsoft wants users to upgrade to the Internet Explorer 7 browser so badly that it plans to make the upgrade part of its automatic updates program for Windows XP. However, they will be able to say no if they wish.
Users will be urged to get the upgrade when automatic updates are downloaded.

However, mindful of the bad publicity it received recently when it used its automatic updates facility to foist Windows Genuine Advantage (WGA) on unsuspecting users, Microsoft will make sure that users have a clear option to refuse the IE 7 update.

Instead of installing automatically, users will be presented with three options on a screen describing the benefits of IE 7. The options are the familiar Install, Don't Install and Ask Me Later buttons.

Microsoft promises that clicking the Don't Install button will stop users from receiving any future prompts to upgrade to IE 7 from Microsoft.

After being accused of pushing spyware at users through its WGA anti-piracy program, the last thing Microsoft needs is further negative publicity about the IE 7 upgrade. It has classified the upgrade as high priority rather than critical, as was originally the case with WGA.

Microsoft has also released a tool that will let corporate users block the automatic update until the organization is ready to move from IE 6 to IE 7.

Some love wordings

I thought that I could love no other
Until, that is, I met your brother.
-----------------
Roses are red, violets are blue, sugar is sweet, and so are you.
But the roses are wilting, the violets are dead, the sugar bowl's empty and
so is your head.
--------------
Of loving beauty you float with grace
If only you could hide your face
-------------------
Kind, intelligent, loving and hot;
This describes everything you are not
---------------
I want to feel your sweet embrace
But don't take that paper bag off of your face
---------------
I love your smile, your face, and your eyes -
Damn, I'm good at telling lies!
---------------
My darling, my lover, my beautiful wife:
Marrying you screwed up my life
---------------
I see your face when I am dreaming.
That's why I always wake up screaming
----------------
My love, you take my breath away.
What have you stepped in to smell this way
----------------
My feelings for you no words can tell,
Except for maybe "go to hell"
----------------
What inspired this amorous rhyme?
Two parts vodka, one part lime
