True but if you don't tell anybody they won't know. On XP there is a specific item in start to launch WU and you don't need to know it is IE to use it...<br /> Windows explorer may have the same look as IE too if you want, would you want to replace it by Firefox?<br /> Just think as Windows Update as a specific app, you launch it, it update your WIndows, then you close it...

Let's assume for a moment you have been shot, and the bullet has lodged itself deeply in your abdomen. Now, you're going to say you want a doctor and anesthetic for the surgery, but why? Can't you take some dull metal imstrument, say a spoon, and for just 5 minutes dig out the other dull metal instrument (the bullet)? I mean, come on! Don't be a wussy! :) Quark: You say, "Why can’t people use an MS product for FIVE MINUTES to update another MS product?"

If this were done, it would make it much more appealing to the masses than it already is, and would allow existing users to convert their friends to the light side :D I think you hit the nail on the head, I have actually had people that I couldn’t convert for this sole reason (yes it’s ridiculous, but what do you expect out of windows lusers?).
