Over the next few weeks and months, Internet Explorer 8 will be pushed out over Automatic Updates/Windows Updates to upgrade users running Internet Explorer 6 or 7.

Oh, and just like Internet Explorer 7, 8 is also available completely free, without the requirement for Windows Genuine Advantage (WGA). This means that everyone running the latest versions of Windows XP, Vista and Server 2003/8 will be able to update!

Starting on or about the third week of April, users still running IE6 or IE7 on Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows Server 2003, or Windows Server 2008 will get will get a notification through Automatic Update about IE8. This rollout will start with a narrow audience and expand over time to the entire user base. On Windows XP and Server 2003, the update will be High-Priority. On Windows Vista and Server 2008 it will be Important. via IEBlog : Prepare for Automatic Update distribution of IE8.
