Internet Explorer 7's release is planned to coincide with Windows Vista's; however, a "testing" version will be available for Windows XP SP2 "by the summer of 2005", which in Microsoft parlance could mean anytime between now and ten years from now.
I think it will require at least XP SP2, and could possibly even require Vista, although the release version will probably be available for XP SP2. |

Well, you never know--Vista is how many years behind schedule now?
 Ten years is a bit of an exaggeration, but it's looking less and less likely that MS will hit the "summer 2005" deadline for IE 7. |

I do not plan on using IE7 since they still won't comply to standards with it. I hope everyone here joins me too.

I hope everyone here joins me too.  you forgot to mention it also won't be open source. i wish software designers would switch to designing for firefox. well, the more people who use firefox, the more designers following standards i guess. undoubtably microsoft will make it nessisary to have IE 7 to use windows update. figuring out how to get linux on my laptop is looking better with every "step forward" microsoft makes. oh, shit. i just realized- i'll be getting a new computer in 2 years and if i'm unlucky i'll get stuck with vista ewwww. i hate beta testing for microsoft. it doesn't even pay well. -500 bucks really sucks to be a beta tester. sheesh. i wish there were a computer company that would sell computers with linux on them, or set up as a dual boot system. even if it were 100 more expensive for a linux dual boot system- i'd buy it. 2+2=5 i love big brother |

bah.
internet explorer will never be a good browser. They whole thing app is just bad to the core. IE 7 is supposed to be better, but I doubt it. PLUS if it is only released with Vista, we'll never see it, seeing as Vista will probably be pushed back again and again as they try to re-add the copy-cat Mac features they scraped to save time. Maybe they should try Windows Wasteland? I mean... vista...windows...no...not ever. |

One good thing about IE 7 is that (I think) it's supposed to have full or almost full support for several key W3C standards, including CSS 1 and 2 (and 3, when it is fully released).

the tabbed browsing is what drew me to firefox. the extenstions are what kept me there. i doubt IE7 will have extensions, therefore IE 7 will suck. |

Plus programers themself can make them if they wan't. The extension site is not even updated and ran by Microsoft. They have like 5 or 6 for IE7 beta. I won't be usen it anytime soon, even if it comen with Vista. IE7 is sh*t.... |
