Default OT - Automatic Internet Explorer Updates

Now and again, we discuss different browsers and our experiences with
them. In case you haven't picked it up, from January, Microsoft will
start silently updating Internet Explorer to the latest version - this
isn't security updates, it's updating IE7, say, to IE9.

More info he http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-16214912.

It may be an issue for some people. I use Chrome most of the time but
I've found, e.g., that IE is more reliable when I'm doing my online
tax return, provided I use IE7. IE8 and IE9 don't work.

So if you're concerned, watch out for the tools MS say they're going
to offer to prevent this silent update.

Cheers, Jake
