IE7 triple restart

right1 im in a ranting mood now aimed especially at Microsoft! Basiacly im sat her minding my own business listing to infection by scot siglar its his previous podcast novel he's on to the Rockie now but thats all bout American football in a intergalactic way so i dont get that at all. Back to Microsoft they've released IE7 which id ont really care about because i use the far superior firefox but anyway i updated to IE7 2 weeks a go because comedy central uses an active x thing for its mother load player and it doesn't work well in Firefox and i don't really want to have a security hole like that running all the time i brows the net. But basically you cant get rid of IE and its such a scurity hole you want it as new as possible. so basically for that reason and partly out of curiosity i downloaded it the day after it was released. After a restart it was done , a restart that was not needed for fierfox 2.0. And now the point the Microsoft update popped up today and decided to install IE7 so now has removed the previous version (also IE7 minus the 50 or so security fixes that properly been released already) and now has to restart to get rid that then restart again to install it again so thats 2 pointless restarts to archive absolutely nothing. What on earth are Microsoft doing they design the OS surly they at least should be able to install a program while the computer is on but no they tie IE so into the operating system that even they cant do that. thats it really got that out they way btw switch to firefox 2 now its far beter than anything microsoft can manage.
