-------Original Message------- From: Edward Luna Date: 10/24/06 04:14:12 To: hlds@list.valvesoftware.com Subject: RE: [hlds] IE7 and HTTP fast download issue Please don't take this the wrong way but you may have missed the point. You never want to be among the first people to install an update regardless of what software you're using. It doesn't really matter if you do it to yourself or you let your favorite software vendor do it to you... installation of unproven (time tested) software updates carry the strong likelihood of introducing problems you didn't have before the update. One need only read through these lists to see the myriad of problems created by updates. It is irrelevant that the problems are ultimately explainable and perhaps not technically the fault of the update... from the end users point of view the result is the same... the update broke the system. In the absense of a specific reason that you need some feature of an update, be it a new function or a fix for a known problem effecting your system, it is always best to wait some period of time (6 months is a good stating point) before allowing software updates to be installed on your "working" system. -----Original Message----- From: Chris Bass [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, October 23, 2006 5:38 PM To: hlds@list.valvesoftware.com Subject: Re: [hlds] IE7 and HTTP fast download issue While everyone is ranting against the autoupdate feature of Windows, My auto updater just got in my face about some updates and none of them included IE7. I still have IE6 installed (it's not my primary browser anyways). If IE7 is getting installed on people's machine, it means they are manually going out and installing it. They should simply be smacked for using IE as their primary browser anyways. Edward Luna wrote: > All things eventually come full circle.
