Actually, Microsoft are going to be pushing IE7 as a high priority update through Windows Update. http://news.com.com/Microsoft+tags+IE+7+high+priority+update/2100-7350_3-6098500.html So for many people (at those who have automatic updates turned on), IE 7 will be installed automatically

But FWIW, users will apparently be giving the ability to go back to IE 6 if they don't want/like IE7. Interesting. Funny. Isn't the whole point of a software upgrade to make it better and more usable than the previous? If Microsoft is worried about users not liking IE7 then they should

Yeah... can't really say this is good news. Most people on XP won't upgrade to IE7, so we'll have to test IE7 on XP for a realtively small percentage I expect. That won't be bad if it behaves the same on XP as it does on Vista mind you, but if has differences on Vista as opposed to XP then that
