BBC News - Microsoft debuts 'fix it' program

Its pretty good tbh, it found a few problems with my IE when I ran tests on it (crappy HP toolbar) and things are running faster in IE now.

Begs the obvious question: if they know what the problems with their software are and have a tool to fix them, why don't they just 'perma-fix' the software with an update rather than adding in extra steps to do so?

Turned out to be a pretty pointless exercise, as it didn't tell me anything I didn't know already!

For those getting non admin messages, it;'s probably checking to see if the account is in the local admin groups, while you're probably using domain admin which inherits it's rights or soemthing.
