I can second this. I used to work for a Credit Union and we made extensive use of IE7. It wasn't that we in the IT department liked IE7, it was just that the cost of replacing the interface our tellers and MSR worked with was too high to justify the change. Someone ages ago had decided that the best way to build the GUI version of the teller interface was to use ActiveX in Internet Explorer.
