OK... fine for me... but doesn't IE7 have its own XMLHttpRequest
implementation, for example? I thought it did...

Anyway, the worst part is getting rid of IE6, because the majority of
the users who use IE7 leave automatic update on on their Windows
boxes... as soon as IE8 pops out in the automatic updates, we'll see a
huge jump in market share from IE8...
