Had you done that, you would realize that IE 7.0 is just as buggy, if not buggier than IE 6.0 Further, many of the CSS filters we had to use to address IE 6's mis-interpretation of the CSS box model apparently will not longer work with IE 7, causing countless sites on the Internet to stop displaying correctly. The worst part of this is MS has opted to force this on its user base. What I mean is, if the user has auto updates turned on in Win XP, IE 7 will be pumped in as part of a system update. It kills IE 6 when this happens.
