"I've read many articles about Internet Explorer 7's new security features and coupled with the imminent release of Vista this got me interested. I recall seeing a rather funny screenshot (which I found on the internet), which showed Internet Explorer 6 in Windows XP stuffed full of spyware/toolbars/etc. I wanted to see if IE7 was any better than that screenshot of IE6, how would it cope with a user that simply clicked 'yes/allow/next/accept' to everything that was presented to them. In addition, I wanted to see how the User Account Control reacted to this, and in the end, could I restore IE7 to it's former glory."

Well, windows did in this case present the user with warnings, and defaulted anything to Do Not Install...
This user sincerely _wanted_ to get the toolbars installed, and even went through great extents to install them (actually manually downloaded and installed smileycentral's)...
So even though MS actually has improved a lot, this guy thinks it's cool that he can install a bunch of plugins...
Never thought I'd be the one defending Microsoft, but this article is completely useless...
