BANGALORE, INDIA: IT major Microsoft, on Monday announced that Internet Explorer 8 would be available through its Windows Server Update Services(WSUS). This new service inclusion would begin towards the end of August.

A blog post by Eric Hebenstreit, lead program manager, on the Microsoft Developer Network website (MSDN) said, "For those of you who manage your organization's desktops using Windows Server Update Services (WSUS) Internet Explorer 8 will be made available via this technology starting August 25, 2009."

Internet Explorer 8 would be made available as an "Update rollup" and will be applicable to all supported languages.

If an organization uses WSUS and has it configured to auto-approve Update rollup packages, upon acceptance of the Internet Explorer 8 End User License Agreement (EULA) by the WSUS administrator, Internet Explorer 8 will install automatically on computers running Internet Explorer 6 or 7 on supported operating systems, added the blog.

However, the company mentions that it would not force the organizations to upgrade and allow them to block the installation of the browser.

It also suggests to turn-off the auto-approve for "Update rollup" packages in WSUS before August 25th, so that the updates can be approved manually.
