i have IE 7 for XP in the windows update proggy and i'm refusing to install it, but i'm not getting any new updates and i heard SP3 is popping up in updates from friends but not me.

do i have to install IE 7 from the update to get new updates? wtf?

SP3 is an optional update. Auto updates only find critical updates I think.

Did a reinstall last night and sp3 only shows up if you click custom when doing manual updates. It's not there if you click the express button. This makes me think it is NOT a critical update.

It's not showing up on my other computers through auto update.

I know this is an extremely far out there idea, but you could just install sp3 manually.

IE7 has not touched any of my machines, and they're all still happily auto-downloading critical updates.
