Hot off the press:

Linky @ Microsoft

It fixes the bug I reported in this thread:

Realy fucking bad bug in MSIE

Worth getting just for that

Here's the info about that:

This Internet Explorer cumulative update also includes a change to the functionality of a Basic Authentication feature in Internet Explorer. The update removes support for handling user names and passwords in HTTP and HTTP with Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) or HTTPS URLs in Microsoft Internet Explorer. The following URL syntax is no longer supported in Internet Explorer or Windows Explorer after you install this software update:

http(s)://username:password@server/resource.ext

It also fixes some other stuff read all about it in the release.
