news.zdnet.com— "The justification, of course, is the significant security enhancements in IE 7," Schare said. Microsoft recommends that all Windows users install the new browser when it ships, he added.

The real justification, of course, is that without bundling or some kind of forced distribution process IE7 can't beat firefox in marketshare.We all know how critical it is for Microsoft to control/pollute standards on the web for personal gain.
Sorry, but killing you would be wrong. Instead, suggest you have your friends and coworkers install Linux. Your death will then be quick, horrible and nobody will attend your funeral.
Ummm you obviously don't develop websites or have any idea what standards are given that comment. Supporting IE6 is bad enough, supportin IE7 will be hell if it's anything like the betas. It barely works better than Mosaic did ;)
IE7 Graphic Interface sucks because you can't save a page without enabling the classic menu toolbar. I rather use Internet Explorer 6 with MSN Beta Toolbar. This toolbar uses all the services of IE7 and has many windows Live new applications availiable. It is not preconfigured so if you like tabbed browsing you can download all those features. Is better than the classic MSN toolbar. It has a Phishing Filter something that Firefox doesn't have.
"Any web dev worth his salt knows that you can't use this stuff just because IE7 is out."True. But every web dev worth his salt has had to hack up their HTML and CSS so badly just to make things work in IE that any glimmer of hope of a better way should bring a tear to their eye. Ok, I'm no pro web dev and I exaggerated slightly, but 60-70% of IE users upgrading is nothing to scoff at. It's a pretty good start.
