I would think that as web designers we should be trying to make our sites as widely available and operational as possible. Given that IE7 is only available to people using XP or server 2003, it seems rather harsh on everyone else to make sites inaccessible to them. A large percentage of offices use older operating systems (the last 3 companies I worked at ran windows 2000). Whilst we probably all agree that firefox is superior to IE, it is quite difficult to explain that to my mother (for example) who runs windows 98 for her minimal browsing needs. I find coding for firefox and then adding a simple conditional comment calling in an IE6 stylesheet is really not that much extra work to accommodate these legacy users. Just my 2p.
