Default This is absurd
I am seriously not interested in anyone's Internet Explorer problems, so
I fail to see your reason for crossposting this to the Outlook newsgroup

microsoft, becuase I know some of you worship Bill Gates as your God, but
what just happened is beyond absurd. The world is in heap big trouble with
Microsoft at the helm of the software industry.

A little while ago, I got a notice that an update was ready. I didn't know
why I received it, becuase my system was set to receive Automatic updates,
and the caption on the notification said "Automatic Update". First what is
automatic about an update that asks me? Someone out to knock Bill Gates on
the head and ask, "Is anyone in there?". But that isn't the problem, just a
prelude. I'm really the idiote for saying yes to the update. It was an
Internet Exporer v7 update, or so it said. I said yes, then it asked me if
I accept the license, and of course I did. The next thing I saw was that
Internet Explorer V7 was being installed ( I had it installed over a month
ago). Then it said it was uninstalling a previous version and I thought, Uh
Oh!!!!!! And rightfully so. I was asked to restart my computer and
naturally I couldn't ignor that request, becuase it kept coming back and
bugging me. So I said yes, and nothing happened. So I tried to restart and
it wouldn't. Finally after a several attempts I opened the task manager and
dumped a bunch of programs then was able to restart. After I restated, I
opened up IE and went to open a new tab and there weren't any. HUH, I
asked myself? No tabs? I like tabs, what happened? This is what happened,
the update uninstalled version 7 and installed version 6.

Do I need to say any more? I can't, becuase there is no description
suitable to describe this, except, HUH!!!!!

I think Microsoft need some updating of personnel, starting with Bill Gates
and continuing until the last programmer is booted. Keep the cleaning crew
and the cafeteria staff.
