IE7 Auto Update unexpectedly released to Japanese users


via Impress Watch

Internet Explorer 7

Microsoft IE Blog opens that the Internet Explorer browser is now available on Windows Update so Windows users with Automatic Update on are going to get IE7 upgraded.

But that was not expected for Japan. Microsoft explained before that Japanese version of Windows will not have IE7 automatically until 2008. So this time distribution should have not occured on Japanese Windows.

Microsoft drew back the distribution after, at least, 5 hours and is going to have a special announce to whom already upgraded IE unwillingly.
