@hAl: In Win7, the IE version matches the Win7 version. So, depending on which build of Win7 you have, you'll have a different build number for IE8.

As an administrator of my company, I use Windows Server Update Services to manage the distribution of Microsoft hotfixes and updates released through Automatic Updates to the PCs in our corporate environment.

The awaited availability of IE8 via this service is a very good news to me and my company as a whole.

The tutorial about how to gain control over how and when IE8 is deployed, if one auto-approves Update rollups is well comprehended.

IE 8 release notes states that Skype addons with versions above 2.2.0193 should be acceptable for IE8

@hAl: We block slightly different versions on IE8 downlevel and IE8 on Win7. Depending on how it is written, it is possible for a given add-on to have problems only on Windows 7.

IE 8 is so great! It even supports CSS border-radius! Oh wait, it doesn't? You mean it's 2009 and I can't event make rounded corners in IE? Seriously?

It's 2009 and you still haven't figured out how to do rounded corners in IE? Seriously??

How have you managed to keep your job? Can I have it?

Given the zero-day issue in IE6 and IE7 is there any way to change the timing on this - like today? Rather than spend time applying the workarounds to IE7 I'd prefer to rollout IE8 using WSUS. However at this time the IE8 WSUS rollout requires user interaction for the "MSFT software improvement" program.

Having a silent install of IE8 with no user interaction through WSUS would save a lot of time.......
