769386	2009-04-29 11:28:00	A simple explanation to what people are seeing is, that was the plan . This is from the IE team blog ( . msdn . com/ie/archive/2009/04/10/prepare-for-automatic-update-distribution-of-ie8 . aspx" target="_blank">blogs . msdn . com): Starting on or about the third week of April, users still running IE6 or IE7 on Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows Server 2003, or Windows Server 2008 will get will get a notification through Automatic Update about IE8 . This rollout will start with a narrow audience and expand over time to the entire user base . On Windows XP and Server 2003, the update will be High-Priority . On Windows Vista and Server 2008 it will be Important . I've installed IE8 on 6 computers so far, no issues on any of them . It's faster than Firefox ( . microsoft . com/windows/internet-explorer/videos . aspx?mname=IE8_Perf_Test2" target="_blank">www . microsoft . com) and IE has had one of the best security records over the last few years if you check the data ( . technet . com/security/archive/2009/03/09/supplemental-data-for-calculating-mozilla-patching-speed . aspx" target="_blank">blogs . technet . com) . Even if you don't like/use IE you should upgrade to the latest for security .	Saucy (14844)

As Saucy said, starting the third week of April Microsoft began distributing IE8 as an automatic update . If you have not yet received notice of the update but would like to download the new IE version, you can get it here: . microsoft . com/windows/internet-explorer/default . aspx?ocid=ie8_sm_a" target="_blank">www . microsoft . com Thanks!
