IE 7 free to download without Windows Genuine Advantage (WGA) authentication

Microsoft has announced they will now allow users free access to download Internet Explorer 7 WITHOUT Windows Genuine Advantage (WGA) authentication.

Steve Reynolds (Program Manager) stated "with today’s ‘Installation and Availability Update,’ Internet Explorer 7 installation will no longer require Windows Genuine Advantage validation and will be available to all Windows XP users."

This is a big step for IE 7 as it pushes to become the worlds most used browser.  With this news it will not be too long until its superiority will be unsurpassed, so expect the usage statistics to pick up dramatically.

For more information on the new release of Internet Explorer 7 and its latest updates have a look at the IEBlog.  If you wish to download Internet Explorer 7 you can do so at the IE 7 download page.

    It’s a shame, I was hoping Microsoft would shoot themselves in the foot and do everyone a favour.
