Old Computers Think They Have IE7

Cleaning out my friend’s old HP Pavilion 522n required using ONLY the 8 recovery CD’s to reinstall Windows XP Home.

After an hour of just uninstalling the default crap I started up IE to go to Windows Update’s site and I was greeted with this.

Not IE 7

Apparently Microsoft assumes that the only reason you will go to runonce.msn.com is if you are installing IE 7. IE 6 also claimed the site had errors on the page, lol.

Eric is a jack of all trades. From running social networks to internet cafes, he’s been in the startup scene for almost a decade. Recently returned from a stint at Start-Up Chile, Eric spends his days focusing on his startups Backup Box and Surreal WiFi.
