Sysinternals (acquired by Microsoft in 2006) has released an updated version of BgInfo 4.10 in the last week. Here is the announcement made in the Sysinternals Utilities Home page:

BgInfo has been updated to correctly reports version of IE 7, remove extraneous network adapter info that appears under Vista, and improve text readability when overlaying on a background image.

Previous versions of BgInfo, when run in Windows Vista systems, displayed every network adapter (including the WAN Miniport entries). Here is a screenshot of what I'm talking about:

And BGInfo 4.10 fixes the above problem.

The erroneous reporting of Internet Explorer version (shows IE version as 6.0 in a system running Internet Explorer 7.) is fixed, as well.
