You IT guys have a plan for IE7? Just read a document that it's gonna be part of Automatic Update beginning Nov 1. About 50% of our PCs have that mess turned on.

We use WSUS for PC's and a separate WSUS server for servers, so no.

Yea, it's not like that's thin plastic either and that's heavy duty bubble wrap. The box must have been seriously crushed when the guy got it.

I replied back to the guy exactly 16 mins after I received his email. I have not heard a response from him.

I have Auto Updates turned on my desktops (except programmers) and most of my servers. I have to verify the fixes before my customers if I can. If my people blow up they blow up, but I don't want to have to deal with the clients. It actually has not caused me any issues in years.
I just dont want to deal with 180 people asking me "where did this button go?" or "how do i do this now?" etc... my users are probably less intelligent than your clients. they are teh dumb
