I really, really, really, really, really, really tried hard not to
criticize
microsoft, becuase I know some of you worship Bill Gates as your God

not really, but I guess he is probably glad that you compare him as a
God.... did you forward this to him ?

, but
what just happened is beyond absurd. The world is in heap big trouble
with
Microsoft at the helm of the software industry.

is that why you are using MS yourself.... and for how long are you using
Microsoft products ... if I may ask ?


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".

yep, read it again....
1) "I got a notice that an update was ready"
2) "I didn't know why I received it"
3) "my system was set to receive Automatic updates" -- BINGO !

First what is
automatic about an update that asks me?

Please see : http://support.microsoft.com/kb/306525

Someone out to knock Bill Gates on
the head and ask, "Is anyone in there?".

Really?, first read up on the particular function feature before you give
out (please)

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.

without reading it ? just click on "OK" on all boxes ever presented to you ?
-- good going ! really !

The next thing I saw was that
Internet Explorer V7 was being installed ( I had it installed over a
month
ago).

1 month ago V7 was beta, so you did not install V7, you installed V7-beta

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.

next time posting you might want to give us some details on "a bunch of
programs" ?
just so genuine people on these newgroups might try to actually help
you.....


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.

OK, that is the closest we come in this post to a problem statement, or at
least an attempt to.


Do I need to say any more?

Yes please, do say more.... the world is waiting for posts like this

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.

that will solve all problems, including cancer and world hunger....
