IE8 and Windows 7 aren't mentioned
This security update is rated Critical for Internet Explorer 7 running on supported editions of Windows XP and Windows Vista.

I notice there is no mention anywhere of IE8 and Windows 7. Does that mean they aren't affected or does it mean that MS doesn't release vulnerability information for Beta products? This is kind of important to know considering I (and millions others) am using Windows 7 and IE8 every day.

Hang on to that OS X fail.  kozmcrae | 02/10/09
