It has been released. YOu can get it at

The upgrade BREAKS CSS 6. The initial startup, after you install it takes forever too. If you open and close it about five times and restart :roll: your machine, the performance of IE7 matches IE6.

Did they fix the bug it causes with Software Update 2?

Otherwise, Software Updater 2 has a far better chance of running properly if you don't have IE7 on your system. :)

Yay! A final version of IE7. Too bad it's already flawed.

I installed it on my desktop so I could see how my websites looked with it. I had to do some code adjustments with some puzzling results. I prefer Firefox, but since most people use IE, that's how you have to build websites.
Noticed that many of the add-ons cost money. After using Firefox, with all the free extensions, that's kind of lame.

lol, umm... how come when i go to the microsoft website to download IE7, Avast pops up saying the connection is trying to download a worm? It's not the IE7 file itself, just after I hit "upgrade now" on the main website that it does this.
