<snip Kenoli's rant>

OK, IE7 may just have been officially released this week, but it's
been available for download as a beta for months and months.  There
have been several discussions about its capabilities on this list, and
there's a dediated discussion board here:

...which I see Alex has pointed out while I was being slow to reply...

Anyway, the short answer is that IE7 is a massive improvement in terms
of standards compliance. I believe that if everyone upgraded
immediately we would see our cross-browser compatibility concerns
reduced to various minor issues of the sort that all browsers have,
rather than the major gaps which seem to have characterized IE for so
long.  Sadly, not everyone will upgrade immediately, and we may not
see widespread adoption of 7 until there's widespread adoption of
Vista, which of course won't happen until some time after Vista's
release.

Assuming you want to upgrade, do be careful about installing it, as
there's no going back.  You may want to look into the varioius
standalone solutions that let you have multiple versions of IE
installed, to make multibrowser testing easier.
