The take-up of IE7, however, has slowed substantially over the past four months. Released to XP users in late October 2006, IE7 has been pushed by Microsoft as a high-priority update through Windows' built-in Automatic Updates, one reason why IE7 use leaped nearly 10 percent from November to December and by more than 7 percent from December to January. IE7 adoption has slowed since then; it rose by only 4 percent from January to February.
