It still amazes me that Microsoft never updated their releases of WinXP with newer versions of IE as they were released. WinXP SP1 came out before IE7, so they couldn’t do it then, but they very well could have done it with SP2 and SP3. I’m not referring to the downloadable Service Packs, but instead the ones that were included slipstreamed into new retail and OEM discs and preinstalled on new OEM computers. This is the way it was handled back in the Windows 95 days.
