This flat ticks me off. M$'s lack of support for such a widely-used O/S in order to force upgrades gets old really fast.

How often does your car manufacturer send you a new car or intall upgrades on your old one?
I'd like to buy the cars you buy so I can get my old car refurbed with new fetures, too.

If M$ incorporates any *new functionality* into IE7 that IE6 or a suitable plugin cannot handle, the outcry from corporate America will force M$ to push IE7 to Win2K. I suspect that XML handling will be the major component difference between IE6 and IE7. M$ is pushing XML as the newest Office file format, so all the other divisions are going to be brought into line.
Hopefully they leave .NET junk as an external feature. They should have learned a lesson from the COM, COM+, DCOM fiasco.
