Uggghhh
Speaking as a web-developer IE7 is the worst thing that's happened to me for a very long time. It's convinced quite a few people I'd formerly considered perfectly rational to change from using nice, standards-compliant FF2.0 to a browser that STILL requires entire web pages to be written to it's own special markup. If you've got it installed, whether you chose to use it or it just appeared on your computer as it did on mine, it's trash, please, for the sake of every poor coder who writes //I HATE IE at the top of every damn page, switch back to firefox!
