Internet Explorer 7 (IE7) as a "high priority"
Internet Explorer 7 (IE7) is due in late 2006 and the finished version will be flagged as a "high priority" automatic download for Windows users.
Microsoft said the update would help users be "more secure and up-to-date".
The release of IE7 will be the biggest update to Microsoft's web browser in five years. Many keen users have been testing out beta, or trial, versions of the software for some time.
When the finished version of the new browser becomes available via the automatic update system users will get offered three options either to install, install later or not install at all.
If users choose to install it, Microsoft said IE7 would not make itself the default browser but it will "transfer the user's previous homepage, favourites, search settings and compatible toolbars".
The final version of the browser is expected to weigh in at about 12MB.
Microsoft expects IE7 to be more secure than previous versions of the browser. Many of the security updates released monthly are for loopholes found in the IE 6 program.
