   100 millions installs, but how many of those are actually people who will use internet explorer on a regular basis?

   One of the reasons they have so many downloads is because they sneak it in with windows update. I haven't ever used it, but a few days ago I noticed I suddenly had IE7 after updating Windoze.

   Yeah, nothing overly surprising to these numbers; IE7's supplied via Automatic Updates.

IE7 opens a window with an installer, even with automatic updates. This means that a couple of persons might just have ignored the message not knowing what to do.

   I expected it to be a much larger number since it is a Priority update.
