IE 10 is more secure, so here's a Microsoft tool to prevent you updating by mistake
"Big deal," you say. "There is no IE 10 for Windows 7, so it doesn't sound like much of a tool to me."

Except, as The Reg points out, the availability of the tool is a sort of omen: it surely means that IE 10 for Windows 7 must be nearly ready to drop for real.
Ironically, then, Microsoft is making sure that as soon as IE 10 is ready, you're already ready to avoid it.

Thanks, Hotdoge3.

FWIW, I have the pre-release version of Internet Explorer 10 installed on Windows 7, since late 2012.

I think they always have that sort of tool available for IT departments that don't want all these PCs updated until they have time to check compatibility & fix any problems with their internal sites &/or apps.
