According to the folks on the Internet Explorer blog, Microsoft will be installing IE7 by automatic update later in the year.

I can't help but think that this will cause problems for many users, especially in enterprises. For one thing the IE7 user interface is very different to IE6. So I can foresee large enterprises where the internal IT staff is swamped with complaints about how IE6 isn't working correctly.

While I think that IE7 is a great move forward, I see this as an example of Microsoft forgetting that you need to let users and customers decide when they are going to adopt the latest technologies.

Diabetes: technology, devices, software, and other stuff.

: Name: Bernard Farrell; Location: Massachusetts, United States

I was born in Ireland and now live in the US. I have had Type 1 diabetes for over 35 years. I struggle with my blood sugar, the same as most people with diabetes. I currently wear a Minimed 512 insulin pump and will shortly switch to a Cozmo 1800 pump. I also wear a Dexcom CGM to track my blood glucose levels. I also take Symlin to help control my post-meal blood sugars. I'm blessed by God, and every day brings the possibility of a cure.
