I think this is some of the best news ever. I know plenty of people who just do the windows updates with "high" priority and that's it. They make no other attempt at staying up to date.

I'm certain Lincoln will be pleased with this as well.

Thrax, I'm sure you'll be the first to admit hat being on the roadmap and ACTUALLY happening are two different things with MS usually.

The IE team isn't the same as the OS team. The IE team is usually right on time and right on target with its roadmaps.

I think I saw this roadmap. Wasn't Vista labeled with "here there be dragons?"
