Microsoft Strips Some Windows 7 Users of IE11 Patch Privileges
 

This seems to be the business paradigm of Microsoft lately. Updates used to be the decision of the end user, but Microsoft looks to want to control what you can do in that area also. The latest is no more security updates for Internet 11 on computers running Windows 7 unless the April update is first applied. Nor will IE11 receive any future updates, security or otherwise, until that MS14-018 has been installed. Windows Update will not display the appropriate IE11 patches.
