IE 7.0 beta seems to be up to a good start. Beta 2 will be a good start. With this list of known bugs from previous versions which are now fixed. There are still a number of others and hopefully they won’t be introducing anything new.
5.5 usage is way down, 6.0 isn’t all bad, Firefox is on the rise and 7.0 is promising. I dare hope. Some favorites:
- Peekaboo bug
- Duplicate Character bug
- 3 Pixel Text Jog
- Quirky Percentages in IE
- 1 px border style
- CSS 2.1 Selector support (child, adjacent, attribute, first-child etc.) sweeeeeeet
- Alpha channel in PNG images
- Fix :hover on all elements

My poor position:relative; friend, I’ll miss you :(
that’s all sweet. Now we have to see if people will switch to vista.
But Karl, as far as I know, IE7 final should be part of Windows XP SP3.
The current beta is running on XP Service Pack 2.
