Well Microsoft has removed WGA Validation for IE7 Installs, allowing users to download and upgrade IE from IE6 to IE7. By Removing the requirement for WGA Validation, I’m sure Microsoft is looking for deeper penetration into the browser market.
The IE7 Browser will be available from today on Windows Update for Windows XPSP2, x64 Server and Windows 2003 Server.
If you are a WordPress 2.3 User, and you want to disable the feature of Update checking, that has been requested by the WordPress community for ages now. If you are a person who is concerned about the privacy, then I suggest you check out these plugins that will prevent the checking for updates.
Completely disables the core update checking system which is a new feature in WordPress 2.3. The plugin prevents WordPress from checking for updates, and prevents any notifications from being displayed in the admin area. Ideal for administrators of multiple WordPress installations.
