Also, in many ways upgrading to IE7 doesn't solve many problems at all (except for some very obvious CSS bugs) because it's still riddled with bugs and wrong implementations of W3C specs, especially on the Javascript implementation. We just have to live with the fact that web development means spending 30% of your time on writing hacks for IE6 and IE7 (and probably for IE8 too).
