Despite all the naysayers (most of whom would hate MS to fix _anything_, as they'd have to find something else to whinge about), the IE team are planning to fix quite a lot of stuff. See their list at http://blogs.msdn.com/ie/archive/2005/07/29/445242.aspx for details. Now that MS have engaged with the Web Standards Project, we can expect to see a gradual improvement; but just fixing the bugs the IE team list in the above-mentioned piece will sort out about 99% of the IE problems I encounter on a daily basis. However, we'll probably have to wait at least a couple of years before the public upgrade in sufficient numbers for us to say "IE 6 is dead! Long live IE 7!" :-( So don't throw away your hacks just yet.
