IE7 is now up to SP2. A Microsoft update made itself know and downloaded ready for installation. I have noticed IE7 to be slow at times, no rephrase that, slow almost all the time. Waiting with anticipation for the installation, it semed to take forever, and it wasn't any faster.
How about this. Microsoft produces a new service pack for IE7, then on restart, it downloaded a security patch. Why wasn't this part of the service pack?
