So?
Ok, let's look at Yahoo vs. Microsoft as companies, shall we? Namely, the fact that selling their software is NOT a major part of Yahoo's revenue stream vs. the fact that it very much IS for Microsoft.

That means that Microsoft has to be more carefull about making it a "production" release then Yahoo! does, ESPECIALLY as they plan to release it as a "critial update" by default!

And companies at large really, really hate it when Microsoft moves "too fast" to release something like this that is not *purely* a bugfix.

So of *course* Microsoft's being more deliberate about this then partners who might take advantage of the various customization features.

This is all to the good. (By the way, you can use group policy to make it so IE7 will not be a "critical update" - see http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=4516A6F7-5D44-482B-9DBD-869B4A90159C)
