Windows XP users who install the operating system's third service pack will not be able to roll back their versions of Internet Explorer, Microsoft's deployment manager for Internet Explorer 8 has warned.
Microsoft is telling people that Internet Explorer 7 is a "high priority" update, but the company is taking longer than some expected to push the new Web browser out.

No new changes in this latest build of IE 7 from Microsoft, except for more stability and application compatibility, but this browser still is not ready for prime time.
With Internet Explorer 7 for Windows Vista, Microsoft shores up Internet Explorer's crumbling security status and takes aim at its biggest rivals.
