Gustavo: Your page _does_ render on IE (7) on Windows (XP). However, it does *not* appear to be re-sizing when the (Browser) window is re-sized. FYI: at 800 x 600 window size, I can see down to the line "your target group..." and ending at "...Right Solutions has t...". At 1024 x 768, all the text is seen, but the background image is clipped at about the lower right (visible) corner of the bridge. At 1280 x 1024, all of the content is seen _except_ the outer-most areas of the blue semi-circles on the far left and right.
