Has Microsoft removed IE7 from Windows Update?

I have had to do a complete re-installation of Windows XP Home following a
system crash. Everything has gone fine and I have updated Windows using
Windows Update (over 100 updates).

Previously I was using IE7, however IE7 has not appeared as an available
update in Windows Update and so I am still using IE6.

About shows:-
Version: 6.0.2900.2180.xpsp_sp2_gdr.070227-2254
Cipher Strength: 128-bit
Product ID: 55277-OEM-0016194-98194
Update version:; SP2;

So how do I update to IE7?

Yes, since October 5th or so. Although until now there hasn't been
any statement by MS (I'm aware of) on the reason for doing so, it
*may* be related to the URI handling change in IE7 which opens a
potential security hole (running in Windows XP and Server 2003).
MS is working on an update to fix that hole, see
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/advisory/943521.mspx and
http://blogs.technet.com/msrc/archi...d-background-on-security-advisory-943521.aspx

Until this update is released by MS, I would recommend to *NOT*
install IE7 on Windows XP/2003 anyway.

Bye,
Freudi
