This gesture is too little too late. Firefox has been here, accessible to all, and no string attached.
MS, take you crummy offer and shove it down your throat.
No real pirates want leftover, stuff that nobody wants. Pirates' feeling are hurted and old wound stay scarred.

Thanks and no thanks microsoft. You can keep IE7 strictly for your own staff use, and for life, too!! I think they truly deserve the reward for all the hard work they have been doing... and making money for microsoft. A little bonus is truly timely!!

Does anyone really like that browser anyway?

Slow as dirt, most users do not even know how they got it?

Because it came down via WU

Just checking

It's great that all the Microsoft haters have posted, but what does MS have to gain from a financial perspective? You don't make money off of browsers, especially from people who get their OS illegally. Personally, I use firefox, but why fault for MS for contributing to internet security? I'm sure MS is trying to bolster their reputation with this, but it's not at the expense of anybody in particular.

Giving away IE7 to pirates? Unbelievable! Isn't this the group Bill Gates wales against? I guess it's okay to give it away when you're in a competition with other browsers. If the other browsers weren't around, there would be no chance that IE7 would be given to pirates.
