IE7/WMP11 Launch News

Thanks to windows tester and Jason He from the forums for the heads up!

According to a new Vista-related press release on Microsoft's site, Windows Media Player 11 will be released to the public on October 24th.

"Windows Media Player 11 will be available via free download beginning Oct. 24 and will enable users to take advantage of an elegant and intuitive user interface, a new level of online store integration, especially with MTV's URGE service, and improved navigation for larger music libraries."

An obscure post over on the MSDN blogs, states that Microsoft is targeting October 18th as the release date for Internet Explorer 7. Looks as though Microsoft is planning to release IE7 automatically on November 1st:

"The final release of Internet Explorer 7 is targeted for release October 18th ...and will be delivered to customers via Automatic Updates starting November 1st, a few weeks after it's available for download. Are your Web sites, extensions, and applications ready? Microsoft recommends that Web sites and applications be reviewed and made ready for the release of Internet Explorer 7 this month."
