Confidence? Damn right!

Shenan Stanley, MS-MVP on tech-archive.net? WHY?

Shenan Stanley, MS-MVP needs to have his MVP status yanked.

I was googling for a way to stop, once and for all, Adobe's shockwave from installing or starting Norton PC whatever-the-crap-software, Shenan didn't help anon. and by default didn't help me.

But, that's not important right now, what is follows:
Check that link - he tells anon. that the SP2 update of WinXP does not "force" the user to install IE7 on their computer. True, but that is NOT what anon. said, nor was that anon.'s concern, nor was that anon',s IT dept.'s concern.

At the time IE7 was being PUSHED on MS customers of XP updating (or not, as it turned out) from SP1 to SP2, MS did not - in fact - force any user to install IE7, BUT every update would always INCLUDE the update to IE7 for EVERY SINGLE UPDATE AFTER installing any update or service pack from then on - until you would actually leave THE BOX CHECKED IN THE UPDATE LIST. Everytime, it never failed to be in s list and checked in that list.

At the same time, a MAJOR known issue of IE7 was that it was not compatible with Blackboard software. That affected a lot of schools who used and still use that service.

PeopleSoft also recommended a "not yet" attitude OFFICIALLY and with CONCURRENCE WITH MS regarding the install of IE7.

All this escaped an MS-MVP? Any MVP that new none of these issues or concerns needs MS to rescind the MVP title from those individuals - and use Stanley as a perfect example.

Shenan Stanley, MS-MVP - How DARE You?
