Ah yes, the old "embrace and ignore" - that's MS's new strategy isn't it?

:-)

Seriously though, from what I've read MS have not bothered to completely fix 
the CSS support in IE 7, so it still won't display standards compliant sites 
properly.

This of course is deliberate, to force people to write IE-specific sites if 
they want them to work with IE which in turn forces users to use IE. Surely 
MS can't pretend they couldn't afford the cost of employing the necessary 
coders to properly implement the standard?
