Not to install IE7 with Win XP SP3

[Gis Bun]

I read that Win XP SP3 [when released sometime this millennium] will include
IE7 and WMP 11. Is there a way so that it doesn't install IE7? We have an
issue with a web page and IE7 where the CPU spikes to 100%. It's fine in IE6
and Firefox, and we haven't had a chance to fix the web page itself.

Here's a quote from the documentation available from Microsoft for XP Service
Pack 3.

"Windows XP SP3 does not include Windows Internet Explorer 7, although Windows
XP SP3 does include updates to both Internet Explorer 6 and Internet Explorer 7,
and it will update whichever version is installed on the computer. "

There's no mention of installing WMP11. If I find out otherwise, I'll let you
know ASAP.

Good luck

Where did you read it so we can tell people not to read whatever you read?
(Since it is incorrect AFAIK...)

Following up on my earlier response, the current release candidate of SP3 didn't
change the versions of IE or WMP on a test system running IE6 and WMP 9. If you
have any further questions regarding SP3, you might want to post them to this
forum.
