From IE Blog:

“Starting on or about the third week of April, users still running IE6 or IE7 on Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows Server 2003, or Windows Server 2008 will get will get a notification through Automatic Update about IE8. This rollout will start with a narrow audience and expand over time to the entire user base. On Windows XP and Server 2003, the update will be High-Priority. On Windows Vista and Server 2008 it will be Important.”

This doesn’t mean IE 8 will auto-install on anyone’s machine. As the team explains:

“IE8 will not automatically install on machines. Users must opt-in to install IE8. Users will see a Welcome screen that offers choices: Ask later, install now, or don’t install.”

You can also make sure to block IE 8 from installing if they don’t want it via the IE 8 Blocker Toolkit.

I have installed IE 8 on all of my OSes (Xp, Vista, Seven (by default lol)), surely best IE ever. I still prefer Firefox or Chrome as my default browser though...

I think this is a good move as IE8 is much better than IE7.

Everyone should install IE8. It's far better than IE7.

I thought IE 8 wasn't official yet.

The final version was released in March.
