Default Windows Explorer 7...!?

just cleaning the laptop up and updating a few bits..

It has asked me if I want to download Windows Explorer 7? I assume this is literally an update and is ok to download?

May seem a bit dumb but computers are not my strong point.

Thanks

Go for it, I love it. There's IE8 beta out too with a secure browsing thing that lets you look at porn without leaving any trace on your computer. I wouldn't go for that yet, too many compatibility issues but get IE7, it's great.
